He definitely screwed up, and has a drinking problem (which he is addressing), but it's been a year-and-a-half problem free. He's been a good citizen since then. Far from a d-bag. And far from Manny, who had attitude (and PED) issues for a long time. I don't think that's a fair comparison at all. Cabrera is a onsummate professional on the field, and has apparently made great strides in his personal life as well.
Hamilton -and many other players (and regular joes) have had similar problems. There's something to be said for overcoming an addiction like that. I'm not making excuses for him- and if he were still misbehaving, I'd probably agree with you. But, the fact is, he's done well for the last two full-seasons and has become one of the best 5 players in the game.
Fair Enough. Just don't care for the guy. It hasn't been done in 40 years and would be cool to see, but I'd rather see a guy like Mauer do it. I don't like Hamiltion either. Not because of his past with drugs, just don't like his personality.Blaming coaches when he broke his arm sliding into home, calling out and arguing with his coaches on the field. Not a professional. I'm a Yankee fan, and i can't stand Arod.
