"The topic was hitting, and Miguel Cabrera -- who hits as well as anybody in the world -- didn't even wait to let me finish the question. He opened his eyes wide and he blurted out:

Hitters think too much.

I'm not the only one he cuts off. When Tigers hitting coach Lloyd McClendon talks to him about that night's opposing pitcher, Cabrera often interrupts him: "That's enough." Then he stands up and walks out.

Cabrera even cuts off machines. When McClendon shows him video of pitchers, Cabrera watches a few pitches and leaves."
