Everybody’s going to point and snicker and say, “And that ‘s why Miguel Cabrera shouldn’t be playing third base,” after the Detroit Tigers slugger took a grounder off his face Monday.
Everybody should cool it. Cabrera has been receiving a lot of attention (medical and otherwise) after the impact of a grounder hitting just below his right eye caused profuse bleeding, prompting him to leave a Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. Cabrera’s eye seemed to be OK, but he was taken to a hospital, reportedly for stitches and X-rays .
As the video replay appears to show, Hunter Pence hit a sharp grounder that bounced off the lip of the infield dirt, taking a bad hop, hitting Cabrera in the right cheek after shattering a lens of his sunglasses.

Even someone who isn’t a great third baseman but still has great hand/eye coordination like Cabrera does.
