Miguel Cabrera Back To 2015 Playing Weight
5 years agoDetroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera said he put on weight last year, but he's now back to his playing weight from the 2015 season. Cabrera changed his diet in the offseason to include more vegetables and fewer carbohydrates. The 36-year-old (37 in April) Dominican hit .338/.440/.534 with 18 home runs and 76 RBI in 119 games in 2015 for the Tigers. The 11-time All-Star and two-time MVP is fading, though, as he hit .282/.346/.398 with only 12 home runs and 59 RBI in 136 games for Detroit last year. He still has a great approach at the plate, but the power drop is significant and won't make him very attractive in shallow mixed leagues at first base.
