The big news on Tuesday morning involved the big fella himself. Miguel Cabrera has arrived in major league camp and will be working with players all week. After nearly a month in camp, the vibes no doubt needed a boost, and having Cabrera in camp can only help. This is Cabrera’s first appearance as a special assistant to Scott Harris.
Cabrera’s appearance coincides with things starting to get serious in camp. The club did some aggressive roster trimming from major league camp on Tuesday, and while these players may still get some work on the major league side, the cuts signal the point where workloads increase for pitchers and the likely active roster starts taking more ABs per game.
