That's a good point. I think Pujols wins the vote portion.

Indeed, Cabrera is the best of the group but I doubt he'll be starting the ASG anytime soon.

Mitch and Mjsb, With larger fan bases on the coasts unless Cabrera is leading in the Triple Crown right before the All-Star break, the voters will go for pujols, gonzalez, tex.
Look at how he got ripped off for the Silver Slugger this year, leading first baseman in about every offensive category, except rbi.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

December 9 in Tigers and mlb history :

1923 - Traveling to Chicago for the Major League meetings, Wild Bill Donovan, New Haven manager, is killed in a train wreck. Donovan was a pitcher for Detroit and manager for the Yankees and Phils. New Haven president George Weiss had swapped berths with Donovan and escapes with a minor injury. Phils owner William F. Baker is also on the train, but he is unhurt.

1931 - Baseball owners, fearful of the effects of the Depression, vote to cut squads from 25 players to 23. Both leagues will stop awarding MVP trophies. The National League continues to prohibit uniform numbers.

1936: The American League okays seven night baseball games for St. Louis. The National League adopts a new design for home plate. It will have beveled edges, the first change in 50 years. The AL adopts a rule stating that no batter can be batting champion unless he has 400 or more at bats.

1939 - Wally Moses is traded by the Philadelphia A's to Detroit for Benny McCoy and George Coffman. The deal is later voided by Judge Landis, who declares McCoy a free agent because of a Tigers cover-up. He gets a $10,000 bonus to sign with the A's.

1953 - The leagues meet and raise the minimum salary to $6,000. They also adopt a resolution to set up a committee to weigh ending the pension fund in November of 1955. Hank Greenberg and John Galbreath are on the committee. Broadcast revenues from World Series and All-Star games are in dispute.

1981: The Giants trade OF Larry Herndon to the Tigers for pitcher Dan Schatzeder and minor leaguer Mike Chris.

1997 - Free agent signings today include OF Luis Gonzalez with the Tigers.
