MLB 13 The Show Cover Athlete is Andrew McCutchen

Oh, I forgot, anyone can win a Silver Slugger, right? The man had 30+ HR, nearly 100 RBI, 20 SB and hit over .325; how is that anything but superb? How is he supposed to carry a team with those kinds of numbers; but as a team, they were bottom 10 in every significant offensive category? McCutchen literally carried the Pirates; how can you possibly blame him for missing the playoffs? Your comment may be the most mis-guided sports post I've seen in quite some time.

Not to mention Cabrera was an average defender at best, while Cutch is one of the BEST in CF

And as far as I know, Cutch is a model citizen...

To be fair, Cabrera is above-average at 1B. He SUCKED at 3B.

In essence, all teams do PURCHASE a team. However, in 2012 the Detroit Tigers payroll was $132,000,000 compared to the Pirates payroll of $63,431,999. Both figures are quite outrageous as that money is used to pay players to PLAY the game of baseball. In my opinion as well, trading is also "purchasing" because you're giving away less expense to get something more desired, more expensive in MOST cases. As far as ignorance goes, that $132 mil payroll was used for a 4-0 shutout in the World Series

I think alot of you guys may have forgotten that Miggy played OF in his 1st 4 years too and he wasnt all that great of a fielder there either. Hes not new to 3B either. He played 3B for FLA too.
The man is a born DH!

Being the best means you are a threat on both sides of the plate; Cabrera is a horrible fielder.
