Should Melky Cabrera win the batting title?
Strange but true
barring an unheard of run to finish the season by McCutchen, the season will end with Melky Cabrera having the highest batting average and enough at bats to qualify..........the only 2 conditions that decide a champion but as we know, Melky is in the midst of a 50 game suspension for a positive PED test Bud Selig is on record as saying 'we'll see how it plays out'

I didn't follow up with the case. Was he caught cheating this season, or was it a drug test taken last year and just processed this year?

He clearly admitted wrong doing/cheating. I can't believe he only just started.

Also strange but true...
Tony Gwynn won the batting title in '96 and didn't have enough at bats to qualify. Melky Cabrera won't have enough AB's to qualify either. He's going to win too.

the 'Tony Gwynn Rule' never has made sense to me.............adding hitless plate appearances that never happened...what is that
the 'rule' being, for those not aware....if a player doesn't have enough plate appearances to qualify, but is given an 0fer for enough plate appearances TO quality and his average remains higher than anyone else, he still wins the title

but, at least a class (if not calculated) move on his part

now, I can understand them leaving him off for the first round since I think his 50th game would be in the middle of it......but I'm a bit surprised to read the Giants have no plan to activate Melky AT ALL this season
and before you think it's some sort of message to him....Mota got a 100 game suspension and they activated him.......A difference, I've read, is that Mota's suspension ended during the regular season while Melky's won't...and the CBA views a difference in that Mota could file a grievance that he was being punished a 2nd time if they didn't activate him...while in Melky's case they can just call it a baseball decision ....the question would be..ARE they sending him a message, then?
