Miguel Cabrera

Boers and Bernstein interviewed Matt Herges on their show Thursday around 5:30 pm. Herges, a reliever for the Marlins from downstate Illinois (and Todd Hollandsworth's brother-in-law), couldn't say enough nice things about Joe Girardi. He even disclosed at the end of the season, Miguel Cabrera, who had differences with Girardi in spring training because he came into camp somewhat out of shape, stood up in front of the whole team and, with tears in his eyes, thanked Joe for helping him become a better player. Friday night on WGN Sports Central, Dave Kaplan said he called Joe Borowski earlier in the day and asked him what it was like playing for manager Girardi (they were teammates in 2002). Borowski said pretty much what Herges said and also relayed the Cabrera story. Donut Jim, what are you waiting for? Your interview with Girardi should consist of 2 questions: 1) When can you start? and 2) How much would you like us to pay you?
