00:00I'm not comparing him to any of the guys I'm going to say, but I've watched young players, prospects get
00:05called up in pennant races and not just make a difference, but help a team win a world championship.
00:09Miguel Cabrera always jumps out at me as a teenager with the Marlins many, many years ago.
00:14Obviously, the Yankees lost that World Series to the Marlins.
00:16And Miguel Cabrera was this young, skinny teenager.
00:19They bounced him all over the diamond.
00:21And the Marlins don't win the World Series in 2003 without having the guts to call up their top prospect.
00:27And sometimes you have to have the guts, and you've got to give it a try.
00:32Now, it's one game, and there's a long way to go, but George Lombard Jr. being an impact rookie for
00:38two months can be the difference between the Yankees winning the division and not winning the division and, dare I
00:43say, going on a deep postseason run.
00:45This was a necessary move by Brian Cabrera.
