Is there a guy who morphed into a DH more quickly than Cabrera?
Geez, it seems like he went from a corner infielder to an overweight slug in about five minutes. I know the guy can mash, but that's a whole lot of years and money Detroit gave a guy already with agility and body issues.

He's just big-boned!
Seriously, doesn’t this seem overblown? I’m confident he’s never gonna be a gold-glover at any position, but he’s not completely incompetent, and he ain’t all that tubby. (People can be so cruel.) I’d like to see a comparison of his physique with Manny’s or Papi’s at the same age. Or, you know, Babe Ruth.
Overblown? Maybe
But isn’t it a little surprising how quickly Leyland decided that Cabrera wasn’t 3rd base material?
