Miggy Cabrera was an elite 5-tool player in the beginning of his career with the Marlins, he was an amazing player & will be a HOF’er IMO.

And I can’t say definitively that he wasn’t on roids because I don’t know him personally, but I highly highly doubt he ever used. When Miggy put on weight, it was primarily fat & not muscle lol

He’s one of the extremely highly gifted & talented players that could roll out of bed & hit 35+ homers & 120 RBI’s without trying too hard. He wasn’t much of a weight lifter from my understanding, @DMoney is one of the 20 or so Marlins fans that still exists (me included lol) & I bet he would tell you if Miggy felt like it, he could seriously play every position on the field except Pitcher & would be an All-Star at all of them too.

I don’t think Miggy was a juicer, he was just really really good & I would even argue he never reached his true potential due to the fact he wasn’t a big time fitness guy or at least wasn’t necessarily the most dedicated to being the best.

Good info to know. I’m also a Marlins fan, think they may be finally turning the corner. Jeffery loria ruined that franchise for a decade.

In all seriousness of all the people that got caught up in the PED thing of the McGwire\ Sosa era seeing Rafael get popped shocked me... I just never saw him in that way but it just goes to show you just never know who's doing what behind closed doors...

Yeah he didn’t seem juiced by looks but as you said it shows how any of them can be on it. I know a lot of guys who played college baseball and roids runs rampant in baseball even in todays game. Playing 162 games without getting injured is a big task.

Roids and HGH isn’t all about strength. It’s about recovering and staying healthy to play a full season at your peak. Also roids is being used in football and probably even some in the nba are using some type of growth hormone type drugs. If the end game is being the best in the world and make 100’s of millions of dollars, most are going to do everything possible to achieve it.

See the Olympics. They are push the limits with performance enhancing drugs and always will

I slide it in my lesson as well, right after we talk about Miracle. It’s more for me than it is for them, lol.

I show Miracle in my Sports History class

I saw Cabrera do his Around the World thing in batting practice before

That guy could do whatever he wanted with the bat

Too bad the alcohol got to him

He is one of the top WR coaches in the nation and a great recruiter. I don’t think he leaves, completely different person from T-rob and his coaching relationship is with Mario, not Kirby.

And would he rather coach with Kirby or Mario?

 

[Odysseus]

*** baseball hall of fame, y’all think Andrew luck get into the nfl hall of fame even after earlier retiring

 

[pacusmc]

So who’s replacing bmac.
Mario getting his stable taken by all his dudes choosing up.
Let’s see if Mario can channel his inner Filmore Slim.

 

[BloodEunsOrangeAndGreen]

I’d be more afraid of muschamp than Kirby, I know he has a relationship there. Just seems like a loyal guy and don’t see him get that co-OC title if he goes to UGA

Luck was so beloved by so many, he turned the ball over more than any QB during the years he played.

 

[BeastMode]

He could also go home and coach for the school he played for and the reigning champs. Can’t blame him if he leaves. Different situation than T-Rob

 

[Genghis Cane]

I show Miracle in my Sports History class

How many preps do you have this year?

 

[WaterburyCane]

Okay, so if we’re going to continue going on random, meaningless tangents in this thread, let me propose a new debate topic:

Rank the Rocky movies from best to worst. I’ll start:

1) Rocky IV (Dude single-handedly ended the Cold War)

2) Rocky III
3) Rocky I
4) Rocky II
5) Rocky VI

















6) Rocky V (what an abortion of a movie)

II
I
IV
III

Italian community approved

Since we're on the baseball kick, when we lose BMac remember:

No doubt the pull would be there. One never knows what another’s priorities are.

There’s certainly history there. It’ll all come down to what he and his family values most.

 

[WaterburyCane]

I did think about that one. Hesitated on putting it on my final list. But wouldn’t argue either. Just didn’t love the movie enough personally.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

He likes trannies?

LMAO iight man

Agree with all but maybe 4 tool, he never had + speed. But best overall hitter ive ever got to watch play. He'd pop that outside pitch into right center with ease and burnt you with big boy numbers mid in.

That oppo homer verse Clemons in the WS was pretty auspicious, you knew it right then.
