HBT: Cabrera snubs media, Dotel not OK with it

From Jesse Sanchez?s game story at MLB.com following last night?s Tigers-A?s game:

But the mood in the clubhouse took a serious turn and tension surfaced when veteran Octavio Dotel told [Miguel] Cabrera to address the media because it was his job as the leader of the team

Cabrera turned down all interview requests and sat at one of the tables in his dress clothes with his arms crossed. Dotel, still in uniform, sat at the other table and shook his head.

I don?t follow the Tigers as closely as some other teams, but I guess I never really thought of Cabrera as a team leader, as he?s not the most vocal dude around. ?But I suppose Dotel would be in a better position to know that. ?I also wonder why he wouldn?t talk to the press given that, dude, it?s not like he was the goat in this one.

I do know that, in another city, this would be a much bigger deal than it probably is in reality. And that, if the Tigers win tonight, it makes no difference. Heck, even if they lose it doesn?t. Still, interesting to see.
