The Tigers, coming off an American League pennant-winning season, and Hunter, who craves a chance to play in his first World Series after spending the last five seasons in Anaheim, appear to be a perfect match. Detroit is looking for a corner outfielder, preferably one who hits right-handed, and Hunter is a nine-time Gold Glove Award winner coming off one of his finest seasons, in which he hit .313 with 16 home runs and 92 runs batted in and carried the Angels for much of September. Hunter, who hit second between Mike Trout and Albert Pujols last season, would fit nicely in the Tigers’ two hole behind leadoff man Austin Jackson and ahead of Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez, who is expected back in 2013 after missing 2012 because of injury. Hunter is very familiar with the AL Central, having played his first nine seasons with the Minnesota Twins, and as an added bonus, Detroit is only a 3 1/2-hour drive from South Bend, Ind., where Hunter’s son, Torii Jr., a high school football and baseball star in Texas, will enroll at Notre Dame next fall. Detroit’s stiffest competition for Hunter will probably come from the Texas Rangers. The Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies have also expressed serious interest. The Angels made virtually no effort to re-sign Hunter outside of what Hunter considered a “low-ball” offer of $5 million in late September. Hunter has repeatedly said he wants a contract that is “fair,” and he is expected to receive a deal of at least two years and $20 million. Because the Angels did not extend a qualifying offer, the team that signs Hunter will not have to forfeit a first-round pick, and the Angels will receive no draft-pick compensation for his loss. November 14, 2012 Page 4 of 26 FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER Whicker: Cabrera over Trout for MVP is the right call A great AL MVP debate can be justified either way, but there are more reasons to vote for Miguel Cabrera than Mike Trout. By MARK WHICKER COLUMNIST THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER This is not an argument about two different visions for the future of our country. This is not the Big Bang vs. intelligent design vs. evolution. This is a case of two very different, very extraordinary American League players having two very different, very extraordinary seasons, with one very nebulous and subjective award within each player's grasp Thursday. There are no wrong answers, or losers, here. But there is a distinct choice. Detroit's Cabrera led the AL in home runs, RBI and batting average and thus became the first Triple Crown winner since 1967. The Angels' Trout led the AL in runs and steals and captivated the sport with his casual, physical dominance. The MVP is the Big Dog of individual awards in sports. It often serves as a Hall of Fame deal-breaker. Yet the word "valuable" restricts it to those whose brilliance made a difference, even though the electors are specifically told that it really isn't tied to team performance. They decide their own criteria. Yet, in 23 of the past 28 selections, their MVP choice has come from a playoff team. What else can "valuable" mean? Did Edwin Encarnacion's 42 home runs and 110 RBI change the fate of the 73-89 Toronto Blue Jays? Isn't it true that the Angels were the sixth seed in the 14-team AL matrix, with their least satisfying season in history when measured against investment and assumption? Yes, and all of Trout's wonderful work did nothing to change that. They could have laid the same egg without him. Precedent can be found in 2011. November 14, 2012 Page 5 of 26 Matt Kemp led the NL in home runs, RBI and runs and finished third in batting average. But the Dodgers did not make the show and the Brewers did. Therefore Ryan Braun won the trophy. Not that Trout's indignant defenders lack a case. The Angels were 80-58 when Trout started. Such a trajectory indicates the Angels might have won everything, had Trout been an Angel on Opening Day. But Oakland was 82-48 when Yoenis Cespedes started. And Oakland did win the AL West. It is also correct that the Angels won one more game than Detroit did (89 to 88) and that Trout had to face the second, third and seventh ranked pitching staffs in the AL (based on ERA) when he played intradivisional games. Cabrera could feast on the ninth, 10th, 13th and 14th ranked staffs in AL Central play. Yet Cabrera had 14 hits and 14 RBI in seven games against the A's, hitting .462, and hit .368 against Texas, and actually homered only once in 74 plate appearances against Kansas City. Trout's superior defense will also be cited, as it should. But the Tigers' fortunes depended largely on Cabrera's ability, and willingness, to play third base, his original position nine years and 50 pounds ago. Manager Jim Leyland was quizzed constantly on that risk in the spring. Then the season began and the issue disappeared, as Cabrera played solidly enough; not Brooks Robinson, but not Mark Trumbo either. By moving to third and risking embarrassment, Cabrera opened a spot for Prince Fielder. And, of the nine men who have won Triple Crowns since 1925, Cabrera is the only left- side infielder. In the underrated Runs Created stat (runs plus RBI minus homers), Cabrera leads Trout, 204-180. Visit any post-game clubhouse and you will hear how opportunity was either cashed by the winners or wasted by the others. That is why it is important that Cabrera had 50 plate appearances with two out and men in scoring position, and drove in 29 runs and hit .420. Trout had 62 of those chances and hit .286, driving in 16. And, after Aug. 31, Trout hit a commendable .289 for the desperate Angels with a .900 OPS. November 14, 2012 Page 6 of 26 But Cabrera hit .333 with a 1.071 OPS for the just-as-desperate Tigers, who were three games behind Chicago on Sept. 11. On Sept. 30, they were three games ahead, and Cabrera gave them eight homers and 20 RBI during that surge. Although it seems ludicrous when you compare the numbers, Ted Williams won Triple Crowns in 1942 and 1947 and lost MVP awards to Joe Gordon and Joe DiMaggio. Those Yankee players were pennant-winners, and Williams wasn't. The past three Triple Crown winners (Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski) played on AL title teams and won the MVP award, as did rookie Fred Lynn in 1975. Robinson was a unanimous pick, and Yaz got 19 of 20 first-place votes. If Trout wins this MVP award it will boost baseball, by anointing the next great player. It also will honor one of the best-ever seasons by a 20-year-old (he turned 21 on Aug. 7). If Cabrera wins the MVP it will repudiate nothing Trout did. It will simply be a case of Affirmed over Alydar, and a reaffirmation of value. Torii Hunter signs with Tigers November 14th, 2012, 9:34 am · · posted by JEFF FLETCHER, OCREGISTER.COM Although it became apparent in the weeks after the season, and especially when the Angels failed to make the qualifying offer to him, Torii Hunter is now officially an ex- Angel. The popular veteran outfielder agreed to a two-year, $26-million deal with the Tigers today, according to numerous reports. The deal is only pending a physical. It ends Hunter’s five-year run with the Angels, in which he hit .286 with 105 homers and won two Gold Gloves. Hunter was also a popular player in the clubhouse and the community. Mike Trout said how much he would miss Hunter on Monday.

Publisher Link. © 2011 Sage Publications. Used with permission. Chicago White Sox 213 Chicago White Sox The Chicago White Sox professional baseball fran- chise has constantly battled for respect and attention since arriving in Chicago in 1901. Some of the lack of respect has been self-inflicted, coming from stunts such as uniforms with short pants, or a disco record demolition promotion that resulted in a forfeiture of a ballgame, one of the few in baseball history. The other source of disrespect comes from being in the same market with the Chicago Cubs, which has devel- oped an elite and special image in the minds of many despite having the longest championship drought in professional sports history. The past 20 years have featured an uptick in the franchise’s reputation, with the opening of a new ballpark (called U.S. Cellular Field since 2003) that seats 40,000 plus, and a World Series championship in 2005. The franchise began in 1901 when Charles Comiskey moved his team, the St. Paul Saints, to Chicago to compete in a larger market. Comiskey soon built a ballpark on the south side of town, named it after himself, and won two champion- ships, the last under his ownership in 1917.

    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 through May 20, 2011 An exhibition of photographs Miller Hall, University of La Verne Photographer’s Statement My start in photojournalism began with a slide show program during a beginning photo class at the University of La Verne. It was presented by a well-known photojournalist at the The Sun in San Bernardino, Tom Kasser. His work opened my eyes. Once I had seen what he could do with a camera, it brought me to see, and not just look, at the world around me. Kasser gave me a goal to strive for, to work at The Sun as a staff photographer. Through my undergraduate career I learned the mechanics of the craft. As a lifetime baseball player I already had the competitive gene so I redirected my passion for athletics toward photography. I took a detour in my quest to be a photojournalist after graduating from ULV. A huge mistake cost me thirteen months of my professional life, and almost the use of my legs. I drove a dump truck backwards over a cliff, spent three months in a hospital and at home in a body cast recuperating from injuries. I spent another nine months in physical therapy learning to walk. Doctors told me that I might not regain the use of my legs or walk without assistance for least five years, if ever. Luckily, I had a great physical therapist. We worked hard every day and prayed to regain the use of my legs. Once I began to walk doctors cleared me to continue as a photographer and stay away from driving trucks.
