Miguel Cabrera busted for DUI

If you were about to be arrested for DUI, would you take a drink from your bottle of scotch in front of an officer?

Well, if you were Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, the answer to that question (allegedly) would be yes.

Late Wednesday night, Cabrera was arrested in Ft. Pierce (FL) and charged with DUI and two counts of resisting arrest without violence, per the Detroit Free-Press.

And not only did Cabrera take a swig of scotch in front of the officer, but he then proceeded to use the ever-so-popular line: “Do you know who I am?"

So, Cabrera, who had issues with alcohol in the past, apparently has issues with alcohol in the present as well.

Cabrera, who finished second in AL MVP voting, hit .328 and a career-high 38 home runs while driving in 126 runs last season.

According to Mock Draft Central, Cabrera is the third player, on average, off fantasy baseball draft boards behind Albert Pujols and Hanley Ramirez. There's a good chance that will soon change, especially with first base being such a deep position.
