Detroit — One first-place vote, that's how close it was.
One more first-place vote for Justin Verlander, and the Tigers ace today would be continuing the celebration of winning his second consecutive Cy Young Award.
But it didn't happen, and there are several votes one could point to for Rays lefty David Price's victory.
Rays closer Fernando Rodney got a first-place vote, for instance, but zero second-place votes from the 28 voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Those in Metro Detroit, though, are more interested in how their local writers voted. And in that case, one, The Detroit News' Lynn Henning, voted for Verlander. But the other, Fox Sports' Jon Paul Morosi, after long deliberation, decided to go with Price.
And for that, he caught flak on Twitter after the announcement Wednesday night.
Morosi understands that, but wants fans to know he didn't make his decision lightly. In fact, he cast his vote only after gauging the opinions of those who know the game best, the players and coaches.
In the end, for Morosi, it came down to this: Price's performance was a tick more impressive than Verlander's because he did it in the American League East, where the opposing offenses are superior and the ballparks are, on a whole, hitter-friendly.
"This was a very, very tough decision," Morosi told me Wednesday night, while making a lengthy, spirited and convincing case for his final vote. "There's just something different about that division."
The AL Central, in comparison, is widely regarded as the weakest division in baseball.
Two of the teams in the AL East, the Yankees and Orioles, made the playoffs. And the other two, the Blue Jays and Red Sox, have no shortage of offensive firepower.
"When you pitch in those parks, Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, Rogers Centre, Fenway Park," said Morosi, "one mistake very frequently results in a home run."
Combine that with the fact Price pitched for the team with the weakest offense in the division, and his numbers, Morosi said, are more impressive. Those included a league-best 20 wins, and a 2.56 ERA, making him the first pitcher from the AL East to win an ERA title since Pedro Martinez in 2003.
Against AL East foes, Price was 10-2 with a 2.50 ERA; against teams with winning records, 13-3 and 2.27.
Verlander, meanwhile, had three fewer wins and a higher ERA (2.64), but also was the workhorse in the race, throwing a league-high 238.1 innings while striking out a major league-best 239.
In that regard, Morosi conceded, "sheer numbers" tend to favor Verlander — the Detroit right-hander also was 6-1 against teams that made the postseason, by the way — but he said the writers are charged with finding "context" in a player's season. It's why awards aren't just handed out based on statistical achievements. (Felix Hernandez won the Cy Young after going 13-12 in 2010.)
"At the end of the day, numbers are important," Morosi said. But he prefers to look "big picture."
Some critics say Verlander was penalized for his team's poor defense, but Morosi correctly points out the Rays infield was, at times this season, a game of musical chairs, with 10 different third basemen (who combined for 33 errors), nine second basemen (12 errors) and four shortstops (23 errors).
Morosi also dispelled any notion he voted for Price to win his first Cy Young as sort of a "lifetime achievement" nod, nor was he out to deny Verlander back-to-back Cy Youngs.
In fact, Morosi noted, this is the first time he's not voted Verlander first on a ballot he has cast. Morosi voted for him for 2006 rookie of the year, and 2011 MVP — the latter a vote much like this year's Cy Young, requiring a lot of inner debate and outside-the-box thinking.
"There are different opinions, different perspectives, writers do things different," Morosi said. "I don't dispute the numbers say Verlander. And I'm not saying Verlander would've been the wrong choice."
When the ballots all came in, this year's Cy Young race ended up being the closest since voting was expanded to allow writers to include more than one name on the ballot in 1970.
That didn't really surprise Morosi, who, as he recalls, got nearly a 50-50 split in his own unofficial polling of players, managers and coaches.
What wasn't nearly as close, he said, was the take of players and coaches he talked to about the MVP debate. There, Morosi said, Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera cleaned up over Angels rookie Mike Trout.
Did the writers agree? We'll see on MLB Network, shortly after 6 p.m. tonight.

Hoopers to close Carlisle department store
Last updated at 12:25, Tuesday, 08 May 2012
One of Carlisle's most iconic city centre department stores, Hoopers, is to close after it failed to turn around losses running into six figures.
The Castle Street store, which opened in 2006, is shut from today until Friday as staff prepare for a massive clearance sale before the store closes permanently in June.
Hoopers managing director Anne Horton said today: "It's down to the economic environment: we can't afford to sustain the kind of losses we have made at this store over the past few years. They run well into six figures.
"Unfortunately, in spite of the best efforts of all concerned and significant investment in the property, we have had to conclude that Hoopers' style of trading has not been a success in Carlisle and the store is no longer sustainable.
"Alternative solutions continue to be investigated while we embark upon a full consultation with all affected staff."
The store, which employs 83 staff, will re-open on Friday, with the sale starting on Saturday, and will continue trading until its proposed closure on June 23.
Mrs Horton said that the closure announcement had come as a surprise to the staff, who were very upset at the news.
The store sells clothes, shoes, accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, cook shop goods and gifts and brought new brands to the city like Armani Jeans and Juicy Couture.
Hoopers, which began in Torquay in 1982, is a group of high quality department stores trading in places like Wilmslow, Tunbridge Wells and Harrogate.
The remaining Hoopers stores are unaffected by the closure of the Carlisle shop.
Shoppers who were passing the store this morning expressed their sadness at the loss of such a big player in the city's retail sector.
Carlisle woman Christine Butterworth said: "I think it's dreadful.
"We don't really have any big independent stores now, just the commercial chain stores like M&S, and Debenhams. It's sad.
"Hoopers was definitely special. The staff are pleasant and there's no hassle and the restaurant is always clean."
The store was formerly home to Bulloughs, a family run store, that opened as a drapers in 1910.
Under the leadership of Edward Bullough – great-grandson of founder Arthur – the store had attempted to re-brand away from its core over 40s market by stocking more modern brands.
Bulloughs closed in 2006 when it was sold to Hoopers.
Before it closed, it had been struggling, as competition from other High Street stores intensified.

The Carter
Immunology Center was founded through the generosity of Mr. Beirne B.
Carter, a Virginia businessman of vision and generosity. His vision was
that the center would serve as a catalyst for the development of new
ways to diagnose and treat human diseases. Immunology is a branch of
biomedical research that deals with both clinical medicine and basic
medical science. It is a field where findings in the research
laboratory can be rapidly applied to the diagnosis and treatment of
diseases as diverse as cancer, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
systemic lupus, cancer, AIDS and other infections. Excellence in
immunology research requires not only a research program of the highest
caliber, but also dedication to the education and training of
immunologists of the future. The mission of the Beirne B. Carter Center
for Immunology Research is to develop and sustain a program of research
and training in immunology of international stature.
The Center is governed by the Director and the Scientific Advisory
Board working in collaboration with the Dean of the School of Medicine.
The Center Office is on the third floor of the Carter-Harrison (MR-6)
building and offers a site of coordination for initiatives in
immunology research and education within the Medical School. Research
programs in Immunology are carried out under the auspices of program
projects grants, investigator initiated grants and training
In order to achieve our goals, the Center utilizes funds derived from
a variety of sources including an endowment established by Mr. Beirne
B. Carter both for general support, recruitment of new faculty, and the
Beirne B. Carter Professorship in Immunology currently held by the
Director. The Center receives continuing support from the
Beirne Carter foundation (http://www.bcarterfdn.org/).
These funds supplement and complement the grants and contracts
from many funding institutions earned through the efforts of our
investigative faculty.

Health advisory lifted for water contact at Agate Beach
A health advisory for contact with marine water at Agate Beach in Lincoln County was lifted today by the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS), in conjunction with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
The advisory was issued Oct. 11 after water samples at Agate Beach showed higher-than-normal levels of enterococcus, a type of fecal bacteria, in the marine water. Subsequent testing showed the contamination had subsided and the waters did not pose a higher-than-normal risk associated with water-contact activities.
State officials encourage recreational activities at all Oregon beaches, suggesting only that water contact be avoided when advisories are in effect.
Since 2003 state officials have used a federal Environmental Protection Agency grant to monitor popular Oregon beaches and make timely reports to the public about elevated levels of fecal bacteria. Oregon state agencies participating in this program are DHS, DEQ and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. More detailed test results are available at the Beach Monitoring Program Web site.

Sustainability reporting is strengthened with the announcement by the Global Reporting Initiative of new guidelines - G4 - says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
The G4 guidelines were officially launched at the Global Conference on Sustainability and Reporting in Amsterdam on 22 May 2013.
Neil Stevenson, Executive Director – Brand at ACCA, attended the launch and said: 'The G4 guidelines make it clear how organisations report on their economic, social, environmental and governance performance. The guidelines focus on what matters and what is material. This will be a great benefit to multi-stakeholders including investors.'
Mr. Stevenson added: 'For ACCA, the credibility of sustainability reports can be enhanced by engaging with stakeholders and responding to their requirements and concerns, as well as seeking third party independent assurance on the content of such reports. Organisations that want to enhance and improve accountability for stakeholders and investors will benefit by using the G4 guidelines and embracing the principles of Integrated Reporting.'
ACCA is a long supporter and advocate for sustainability reporting, and has been a member of the GRI Steering Committee since its inception in 1998. It also helped to write the first GRI set of guidelines that were launched in 1999. ACCA also sits on the GRI stakeholder Council.
Neil Stevenson concluded: 'In the current economic climate, organisational accountability is an imperative. Being transparent and reporting on issues and impacts can help achieve this. We believe that all major entities in the public and private sectors should report publicly on the effect of their activities on the environment and societies in which they operate, along with reporting on their policies and how these have been translated into practice.'

University, Google Updating Maps
It was not long ago that if one searched Google for LSU Eunice's physical address, one would end up in a rice field somewhere north of Iota. Today, that discrepancy on Google Maps has been fixed, and the university's Office of Public Relations is working with Google to enhance the Eunice area map to include key locations and buildings of the campus.
"A week ago if you searched Google maps for LSU Eunice, you would find a large, empty tan area," said LSU Eunice Public Relations Director Van Reed. "Today, you will see updated areas that include parking lots, and athletic field markers."
Soon, according to Reed, building footprints will start appearing, as well as, the many sidewalks winding through campus.
Reed's office has been working with Google Maps advisers to render the entire campus on the latest maps. It is a lengthy process.
"Every little edit is scrutinized and reviewed," said Reed. "We have been asked numerous times to redraw a building or asked to verify information about a building and its features."
There are over a dozen edits in the system now being evaluated by Google Map reviewers. Some features are added instantly to Google Maps while others await future assessment or edits.
"Our goal is to have the entire campus searchable as part of a large scale virtual tour we are working on. Soon, we will be providing Google with floor plans of each classroom building, so if a student searches for Manuel Hall Room 108, Google Maps can take them there," said Reed. "We'll also link the building with photos and YouTube video tours; all found and linked through the map."
The process does not happen overnight. Google updates routing information every 3-4 months, so while changes to the local maps may start appearing over the next few weeks, the changes will not be searchable for several months.
"Our reviewers told us to be patient," said Reed. "So we are sitting back and answering their questions, adjusting our drawings according to their recommendations, and taking it one step at a time."
Reed hopes to have the entire map finished, searchable, and integrated into the virtual tour by November.

When the Defense Department started fashioning a new pay-for-performance system for its civilian employees five years ago, fairness was the watchword.
But the first large-scale payout of performance-based pay raises and bonuses in January was riddled with inequalities, a Federal Times analysis has found. Specifically:
* White employees received higher average performance ratings, salary increases and bonuses in January than employees of other races and ethnicities. When compared to Asians and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, whites received on average almost a full percentage point more in their total payout of raises and bonuses.
* Employees working at Defense agencies such as the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Tricare, the Office of the Inspector General and the Office of the Secretary of Defense earned higher performance ratings and payouts overall than did their civilian counterparts in the three military service branches. When compared with their counterparts in the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, employees at Defense Department agencies earned more than a full percentage point more on average in their total payout.
* Raises and bonuses appeared inconsistent at times with their corresponding performance ratings. For instance, employees who were 40 years old or older and those under 40 received closely similar performance ratings overall, yet those who were 40 or older received larger bonuses and total payouts. That could be, perhaps, because older employees more often hold higher-ranking jobs that give them more responsibility and earn them more attention from their superiors. In another example, Asian-American employees received slightly higher performance ratings overall than did blacks, yet they received significantly smaller pay raises and bonuses. And women received larger total payouts overall than did their male counterparts even though they both received the same performance ratings on average. Most experts interviewed by Federal Times say its too early to judge whether NSPS is discriminatory or otherwise faulty. But many agree the apparent inequalities cause concern, and they say Defense needs to closely watch these trends in coming years. If the inequalities continue, experts say, NSPS must be revised to correct them.
Its not time to cry that its a crisis, said Darryl Perkinson, president of the Federal Managers Association. But there are some areas of concern raised in these numbers, and we need to examine this thing.
Pentagon promises review
The performance-based pay system, called the National Security Personnel System (NSPS), was launched two years ago and covered only 11,000 employees at first. Since then, it has expanded quickly. The performance evaluations and raises and bonuses handed out in January were the first large-scale test of the new system, covering 102,000 employees at agencies, bases and commands across the Defense Department.
Since then, Defense has added thousands more at agencies such as the Air Force Materiel Command, Army Corps of Engineers, Defense Finance and Accounting Service and the Army Special Operations Command. NSPS now covers about 180,000 employees and the department hopes to eventually bring 650,000 employees under the program.
Federal Times obtained the individual performance ratings, salary increases, bonuses and total payouts for each of the 102,239 civilian employees compensated under NSPS in fiscal 2007 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. Defense also provided the employees gender, age range, race, ethnicity, location and the Defense component in which they worked. To preserve employees privacy, Defense did not provide their names or identify the specific organizations where they worked.
In an interview, NSPS program executive officer Brad Bunn said the department does not yet know what caused the inequalities in ratings and compensation.
Weve asked our components to do a deeper dive into the information to look for these issues, Bunn said. Are there differences in ratings distribution that we need to pay attention to? Are funding levels different?
Bunn said differences in how pay raises are budgeted may account for some of the differences in compensation. NSPS rules allow each organization to create its own pay pool from which to fund pay raises and bonuses. Organizations can add more or less money, depending on what their budgets allow. So, for example, if an organization has a relatively small pay pool and a relatively high percentage of Asians, then that might explain why Asians might appear to be getting inequitable compensation.
Under NSPS, organizations are supposed to issue performance-based bonuses comparable to bonuses awarded in previous years. And since those varied across the department before NSPS was created, Bunn said that may also have caused some of the pay differences.
Bunn also believes that the Navy and Marine Corps relatively low payouts were skewed by the midyear transfer of nearly 7,000 Navy civilian employees from the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command into NSPS. (Employees of the Navy and Marine Corps were grouped together in the Pentagons statistics.) Those employees, who accounted for a large portion of the Navy/Marine Corps segment, were paid only partially under NSPS and partially under their previous personnel system. The result was that their NSPS payouts were low and brought the overall figures down for the Navy and Marine Corps, Bunn said.
Racial fairness?
But the racial differences in NSPS payouts and evaluations makes you scratch your head, Bunn said.
There could be a lot of different variables at play here, he said. It may be where there are concentrations of these various categories of employees. Maybe theyre in organizations that prorated pay pool funding because they came in later in the year. I dont have the answers as to why thats the case.
Bunn pledged to further investigate, and said his office will examine individual pay pools to look for discrimination. He said his office could revise NSPS pay pool funding structure or reform managers training programs if systemic problems are uncovered.
But he would not speculate on what the results might say about NSPS fairness.
When I look at it at this level, it creates more questions than answers, Bunn said. I dont think were at the point where something needs to be done about it. But [the apparent inequalities are] certainly being looked at as part of our evaluation.
Union: We told you so
The American Federation of Government Employees a vocal critic of NSPS said the results reinforce its concerns about the system.
We feared this would happen, and these stats seem to put some real weight behind those fears, Brian DeWyngaert, AFGE chief of staff, said. These systems can have a discriminatory impact. Whether its intended or unintended, it happens nevertheless.
DeWyngaert was particularly troubled by the statistics showing white people received larger ratings and pay increases.
That variation speaks loudly, that there probably is a problem in the system, DeWyngaert said. Its the first alarm bell that goes off, when the system looks like its having a discriminatory impact on people of color and minorities.
DeWyngaert said Defense should scrap NSPS and go back to the old General Schedule system of regular step and grade increases.
You can trust GS because its colorblind, and blind to all those categories, DeWyngaert said. These [pay-for-performance] systems generally have a lower trust level for employees for this very reason.
He also said that the differences among components could prompt employees to leave lower-paying organizations, like the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, for higher-paying agencies within the department.
If it continues, after several years the spread could be noticeable as employees move to agencies that do better, DeWyngaert said. That cant be good for Defenses continuity of mission, if it finds itself competing with itself.
Carson Eoyang, executive director of the Asian American Government Executives Network, said that while the discrepancies are worrying, they arent wide enough to scream of gross injustice.
But the data does not represent a basis to become complacent, Eoyang said. Continued vigilance and attention to improving NSPS is highly warranted.
DeWyngaert and Eoyang say Defense should strive to reform NSPS so that results for different demographic groups are largely the same.
That may not be possible, said Paul Dorf, a pay expert and managing director of the human resources consulting firm Compensation Resources Inc. There will always be differences between demographic groups that may not reflect racial or ethnic bias on the part of the reviewer, he said. Pay-for-performance systems tend to favor older employees nearing retirement and highly trained employees in higher-ranking jobs, Dorf said. That could result in higher ratings and payouts for white people, he said.
Some of those are behavioral issues; I dont know if it points to flaws in the system, Dorf said. The reality is that youre never going to have a homogenous thing where everyone is evaluated the same. If it were to work out that way, I would be more suspect that theyre gaming it.
One group or another is bound to come out on top each year under a performance-based pay system, Dorf said. Defense should monitor its system annually to make sure it doesnt consistently favor one group, he said.
Bunn said his office will do just that.
This is one data point, one years worth of data, so we dont have trend information yet, Bunn said. But were not waiting several years before we start looking.

Those in the market for an antique French fry cutter should look no further than the former Lafayette Club in York.
On April 15, Rentzel's Auction Service will auction off thousands of items from the historic social and networking club, said David Conley, owner of the Emigsville-based auction service.
Last August, after 114 years, the Lafayette Club shut its doors.
"We were not operating at a profit," said John Senft, president of the club, at the time of the closing. "We don't want to get in a spot where we can't pay our creditors."
In 2011, the Lafayette Club sold its property at 59 E. Market St. to the Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Foundation for $277,500.
As part of the sale, Susquehanna leased the building back to the club.
Formed in 1898 by prominent men of the York community as an exclusive social club, the Lafayette Club grew to eventually admit both women and minorities.
In 1912, the club decided to buy its current downtown clubhouse.
However, the sale was postponed for months when the deed was lost in the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic.
At the time of its closing last year, the club was home to between 100 and 200 members.
The auction includes items ranging from bar stools to bedroom furniture, Conley said.
The stools, which are expected to be top sellers, still have plaques embossed with the names of former members.
In addition, the sale will feature a few pair of bowling shoes and a ball that were once part of a bowling alley that once took up space in the building's basement.
Senft said he was not sure what would happen to items that are not sold at the April 15 auction.
"I'm hoping that a large majority will sell," he said.
Many of the clubs antiques were sold in March through a separate auction held at the York Fair Grounds, Conley said.
At that sale, one painting depicting the Marquis de Lafayette sold for $1,400, while another painting from the National Audubon Society captured a bid of $1,500, he said.
"The history associated with the club will help with the auction," Conley said. "I think people who had a relatives who belonged to the club, might come to the auction and buy items that hold sentimental value."
If you go
Rentzel's Auction Service will host its auction of thousands of items belonging to the former Lafayette Club in York.
Bidding starts at 9:30 a.m., April 15 at 59 E. Market St. in York. Visitors will be allowed to preview items starting at 8 a.m. that day.
Everything must be paid for at the time of the auction and items need to be removed from the club that day or Tuesday, at the latest.
Here's the link to items for sale in the auction.

Matt Norlander of CBS Sports put together a power ranking of the home cities of the NCAA Tournaments Sweet 16 teams based on each citys music scene. The lowest-ranked city was Ames.
Lets examine Norlanders picks from Ames: Leslie & the Lys (fair enough) and Modern Life is War. The latter is a Marshalltown band. Thats 46 miles away from Ames. If Ames can count bands within that range, why not include Slipknot?
Norlander also mentions that John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats, having paid taxes in Ames, is the towns saving grace. Jeez, All Hail, West Texas being recorded there doesnt rank above tax payment?
The closing line: The music scene is barren.
Nate Logsdon, co-founder of Maximum Ames Records and the Maximum Ames Music Festival and the manager of the Ames music venue DGs Tap House, had this to say: That just makes me laugh, because thats not true. If youre not from here and you dont know anything about the music scene and you just Googled it, it might look barren. But if youre in the local music industry like I am, if youve put on thousands of shows and seen bands in Ames that blew your mind and changed your life, you would know its not true.
Ames is anything but barren. Thats definitely the opposite of reality.
With Maximum Ames (music festival and label), Nova Labs, the Maintenance Shop, the birthplace of the Poison Control Center, the Envy Corps and Radio Moscow (more or less), its hard to think of the scene as barren. In NCAA terms, Ames might be the Cinderella team of this musical Sweet 16, but barren makes it sound like one of the ugly stepsisters.

Detroit � The Tigers are getting closer and closer, and it shouldn�t be long now. As the air chills and the skies darken, it�s not really a question of whether they�ll reach the playoffs. It�s a question of whether they�ll be ready when they get there.
That�s what this 10-game home stand is mostly about, and no issue is bigger than the health of Miguel Cabrera. The Tigers beat the Royals, 6-3, on Friday night to maintain a six-game lead with 15 remaining, and the jacketed crowd of 40,389 was in a festive mood. It will turn from festive to restless soon because everyone knows this season isn�t just about winning a piddlin� division crown.
The quest for the World Series is as urgent as ever, and the Tigers will need at least a moderately healthy Cabrera and a nasty Justin Verlander to get there. Both are fighting to regain form, with periodic signs of improvement. Verlander stuffed the Royals with seven strikeouts and no walks in six-plus innings, and I�m done double-checking the gas gauge. Let�s assume his tank isn�t dry, and in the postseason he�ll be a vital part of a deep, tough rotation.
Cabrera�s situation is trickier because he�s been ailing for nearly seven weeks with abdominal and groin strains. He winces on the field. He hobbles to first base. And lately, his timing has been off at the plate.
It�s easy to shriek the Tigers should give him a break, and I�m sure they will after actually clinching a third straight division title. But there are two reasons they never put him on the disabled list � because they need his production, and because he still produces. You can bet Dave Dombrowski and Jim Leyland wrestled with the notion, but Cabrera�s impact is too important to ignore.
'I want to be out there'
Oh, it�s painful to watch at times, and hCabrera was hitting .194 in his last 11 games before Friday night. He hadn�t collected an extra-base hit since Aug. 26 until he laced a Bruce Chen pitch to the right-field wall for a double. Prince Fielder followed with a two-run home run for a 3-1 lead, and another threat was averted.
Leyland has rested Cabrera occasionally, and the Tigers see subtle signs of improvement. He took extra batting practice Friday and sounded a bit more positive.
�I feel better, hopefully I can produce,� Cabrera said. �For sure, I want to be out there.�
He deserves loads of credit for battling through it, no matter how arduous it sometimes looks. The Tigers are trying to buy time � not bide time � with Cabrera. I think the plan all along was to get a healthy division lead, then work on getting a healthy Cabrera. Is it mildly risky? Sure. But when the division lead shrunk below five games, it was just as risky to sit him.
I know the Tigers record is 10-3 without him in the lineup, but that�s too small of a sample size to make a point about sitting him. The team insists the groin injury isn�t necessarily worsened by playing, but every movement and swing by Cabrera raises the possibility of aggravation.
�You cringe if you see him move a certain way, but I wouldn�t put him out there unless I felt he could go out there,� Leyland said. �I hope he�s pretty well on the mend, but sometimes those things go day to day. I�m just thankful he�s playing. And on days he can�t play, I won�t play him.�
Cabrera has missed 11 games since July 23 and played sparingly in a few others. But he clearly wants to play, and if anything, his star aura has added another layer of toughness. Through the bulk of the ordeal, you know what Cabrera has been? Still the best hitter in baseball.
In August, when the muscle strains flared and subsided and flared again, he hit .356 with 11 home runs and 31 RBIs, and was smack in the hunt for a second straight Triple Crown. How do you sit someone with those numbers?
�It�s something I have to live with right now,� Cabrera said. �In the offseason, you rest. Right now, you work.�
When the pain was at its peak a couple weeks ago, Cabrera said he wondered about the disabled list. But then the September call-ups filled out the roster and no official designation was necessary. He still leads the league in average (.348) and RBIs (133), and it�s foolish to suggest he�s hurting anything by playing hurt � as long as he makes it through the postseason.
A playoff feel to it
This night had a playoff feel, and the Tigers are sharpening up. Verlander�s command was better, although he did surrender nine hits. And Cabrera did drive the ball, although he later struck out on three pitches.
�I do think he�s feeling better, knock on wood,� Leyland said. �He hit extra today, and that�s a great sign. I actually thought he was running a little bit better. He�s certainly not pain-free, or out of the woods, but he�s playing, they�re all playing, and they know what�s at stake. You gotta give �em a lot of credit.�
Once the division book-keeping is done, the Tigers� sights will shift higher very quickly. In the meantime, they�ll grapple with the ever-nagging conundrum. They need Cabrera now, but they�ll need him even more later.
