To say Miguel Cabrera's reputation has taken a little bit of a hit would be an understatement. Thanks to his well-publicized and well-documented alcohol binge ending in a DUI arrest, Cabrera went from icon to moron in a matter of weeks.

For several reasons, however, Miguel Cabrera will overcome this and will recover. He'll again battle for the AL MVP. Here are the reasons why.
