"It's not likely that Miguel Cabrera's legal cases in Florida will be over before the Tigers finish the regular season Sept. 28.

A court hearing scheduled for today in Ft. Pierce, Fla., has been delayed until Sept. 15 because depositions that were anticipated had not been taken yet, according to Gayle Braun, assistant state attorney for St. Lucie County.

Cabrera, the Tigers' All-Star first baseman, was arrested in February for suspicion of driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence in Ft. Pierce.

His attorney, Michael Kessler, received permission last month to take sworn statements from witnesses who reported seeing Cabrera before his arrest along a rural stretch of highway. Cabrera later said he was en route to the Tigers' spring training base in Lakeland from his home in south Florida. He refused a breath test to determine his blood-alcohol content when he was arrested."
