Jose Miguel Torres Cabrera was born on April 18, 1983 in Maracay, Venezuela. (Click here for a complete listing of today's sports birthdays.) Baseball was in his blood from the time he entered the world. His parents, Miguel and Gregoria, met on a baseball diamond. Both had been excellent players in their day. Miguel was assigned to Florida’s team in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League to start the 2000 campaign. At 6-2 and 185 pounds, he was bigger than most prospects from Latin American countries. His skills were also advanced. Miguel had a wonderful feel for the strike zone, could spray the ball to all fields and responded well in the clutch. Defensively, he was somewhat limited at shortstop, but he had good hands and a rifle for an arm.There is no denying that Miguel Cabrera is a special player. His combination of talent and instinct come around very rarely. Miguel can drive the ball to all fields, AND He is lethal against lefties and in RBI situations. As a rule, he concentrates on hitting the ball hard, not out of the park.
