According to Eric Adelson, Pitcher Octavio Dotel doesn't hold the Triple Crown Winner, Miguel Cabrera in high regard as a team leader.
You have to step up and say something. Miggy’s more about his game. I don’t see him as a leader … Everybody has their eyes on Miggy Cabrera.”
Most say Cabrera is a soft spoken guy and some have gone as far as saying he is introverted. He may be, but he is still a very agressive, boisterous player on the field. Without question he is one of the top five players in MLB right now. Cabrera doesn't feel it is his place to be the locker room ring leader, perhaps it is something to do with his bouts with alcohol which have been publicized widely.
A Hall of Fame caliber player does not make for a team leader, refer to Ty Cobb and Reggie Jackson among many others and see why.
