Lakeland, Fla. — Miguel Cabrera hadn’t been in the clubhouse more than an hour Monday morning when the chirping began.
“He was jawing with me all day,” left-hander Matthew Boyd said.
The complex, color-coded practice schedule, posted on the grease boards at both ends of the clubhouse, showed Cabrera would be facing Boyd in the first live batting practice session of the spring.
“In the weight room he let me know he was facing me,” Boyd said with a smile. “I told him, ‘I’m going to tell you what’s coming and I am still going to get you out.
