Former big league outfielder Elijah Dukes charged with hitting pregnant girlfriend
30t6p3b.gif


Former big league outfielder Elijah Dukes was arrested Wednesday and charged with domestic violence after police say he struck his pregnant girlfriend.
cp.gif

Mountrail Mounshay Mack, 20, told police Dukes allegedly slapped her several times in the face during an argument. Though she was reportedly not badly injured, officers charged Dukes with a felony because Mack was pregnant.

The former Rays player was released by the Nationals March 17 of 2010 and has been playing with the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

Dukes has had a number of run-ins with the law, having been arrested at least three times for battery and once for assault. He was apprehended at his mother's house without incident and was also arrested on warrants for contempt of court and driving with a suspended license.

Dukes batted .242 with 31 homers and 123 RBI in 240 games over three seasons.

Tanner Scheppers' loss of velocity was the big story, or perhaps the least small story, in a fairly nondescript game between the Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs in Mesa on Thursday. Whether this is a blip or a long-term problem for the Rangers depends on how much of his poor showing was explained after the game.

AP Photo/Tony DejakScheppers appears cautious with his arm speed.

Scheppers touched 92 MPH once on Thursday, but was mostly 88-91, and most alarming was how incredibly slow his arm was. In relief last summer and the fall before, I saw him up to 98 with a hellacious breaking ball and a lightning-quick arm, but the guy I saw on Thursday was a virtual non-prospect, a "put the gun down" player if he wasn't a once-famous draft prospect. Pro scouts around me who hadn't seen him as an amateur were all commenting how his bonus appeared to be money down the drain, and some discussion turned to how the damage in Scheppers' shoulder (believed by some teams to be a torn rotator cuff) hurt his draft stock and reduced his potential role in pro ball.

Postgame reports emerged that Scheppers had stiffness in his lower back but elected to pitch anyway. It could be an explanation for the loss of velocity and arm speed, but it seems insufficient to me, and of course it could be an excuse for poor performance. If it's true and fully explains how bad Scheppers looked on Wednesday, however, it's a reminder of why nearly every MLB team took him off their draft boards in June 2009. He can't be counted on to handle any significant workload or stay healthy for any significant period of time, because his margin for error with his shoulder is so small. It's not reason to panic, but it's not a positive step.

• I've received a lot of questions about Cubs infielder Marquez Smith, who was Rule 5 eligible but went unselected despite his .314/.374/.584 line in about 300 plate appearances in Class AAA last year. It's just one game, but I can guess why he didn't garner much interest or a 40-man spot from Chicago. He took some awful hacks against breaking balls, including one on a 72 mph Little League curveball for a strikeout in his first at bat. He's a below-average runner, and struggled to make a throw from third base on a soft grounder. That's not to say he has zero value, but it's a long list of flaws to steer teams away from him.

 
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Miguel Cabrera sat happily on the visitors' bench Thursday, smiling broadly, chatting about how his timing at the plate is off, and how he likes to get about 70 at-bats in spring training to get ready for the season.

mlb_a_cabr_martin_sy_300.jpg

AP Photo/Charlie NeibergallThis is a bond the Tigers hope to see grow.

Judging by the laser line-drive out he mashed to right field in his first at-bat, Cabrera is not far from recovering his swing. And besides his low batting average so far, his return to the Tigers, after his Feb. 16 arrest, has been seamless. To watch him laugh and joke with teammates this week, good-naturedly giving Brennan Boesch a hard time, is to see him at his most comfortable.

Dave Dombrowski, the Tigers' general manager, said before Thursday's game that within a couple of days there will be a sponsor chosen to shadow Cabrera as part of the alcohol treatment program he has started. But it's clear that Cabrera also has a strong support system in place in his own clubhouse, surrounded by Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen and Victor Martinez -- all Venezuelans, as is Cabrera himself.

Martinez and Cabrera have never played together before this year, but Cabrera and Martinez have long been friends, and when Martinez decided to sign with the Tigers, he called Cabrera directly with the news. The Red Sox loved the steady presence Martinez provided for them, the leadership. He is not loud or a look-at-me type, but there is an earnestness about him, and when he wants to get the attention of the others, he has a uniquely shrill whistle he says he learned as a child -- a cross between a referee's whistle and fingernails on a blackboard -- that gets their attention.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland has been using Martinez to bat behind Cabrera, to give him the protection Cabrera didn't have late last season, as Boesch and others struggled and opposing managers and pitchers just worked around Cabrera. Eighteen of the 32 intentional walks issued to Cabrera came in the last two months. Cabrera is such a dominant hitter he'll still get worked around from time to time, but now the pitchers will have to deal with Martinez, whose presence will be good for Cabrera in the lineup and in the clubhouse.

• The most watched outing today will be that of Jake Peavy, who takes the hill for the White Sox. The team has been encouraged that Peavy has been able to work on the same schedule as their other starting pitchers.

The surgeon who did the work on Peavy is confident that he'll be on schedule this year, writes David Haugh.

• March is the time for young players to shine, to make impressions, and here are three examples:

1. Francisco Cervelli's foot injury worries the Yankees, which raises the question of whether Jesus Montero could start the year in the majors.

It's a complicated question, because above all else, the Yankees will want Montero to continue to play on a regular basis, to continue refining the catching skills that rival scouts say have improved dramatically over the past year. His body has completely changed in the past year -- he's lost a ton of weight -- and his dedication to becoming a catcher has completely changed. "I want to be a catcher," he reiterated at his locker on the second day of spring training, explaining how he likes to be in the middle of all the decisions that are made from pitch to pitch.

And he will hit. As one scout noted, he is absolutely fearless at the plate -- not afraid of getting deep into the count, not afraid of hitting with two strikes, not afraid of hitting with runners on base. When he was a kid, his father had told him to watch Edgar Martinez, as an example, and like Martinez, Montero drives the ball to all fields.

By all accounts, he is going to be a great hitter in the majors; it's just a question of when for Montero, who is only 21 years old.

2. The hitting model for Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, as he grew up, was the left-handed-hitting Garret Anderson. "I liked it when he would take an outside slider to left field," Freeman recalled, as he waited his turn near the batting cage Thursday.

This is the type of hitter Freeman is, using all fields, and in his second at-bat against the Tigers, he dumped an RBI single into left field to drive in Chipper Jones. There could be a lot of that type of thing from him in years to come.

3. Boesch had an enormous impact for the Tigers in the first half, but his production all but disappeared in the last months of the season, and he could never dig himself out of his slump. But the Tigers think he is fixable, that he is capable of making the adjustments necessary, to improve his balance at the plate and to get back to being a good major league hitter. On Thursday, starting in left field and playing the whole game, he crushed a monster home run to right field, and then slashed a ball into the left-center gap.

• The mediator in the Mets' Madoff case has met with both sides, writes Ken Belson. A former SEC lawyer has been invited to testify about the Madoff case.

• The McCourts have resumed settlement talks, as Bill Shaikin writes.

• Mike Quade held a team meeting in the aftermath of the Cubs' dugout fight, but Carlos Silva is not talking, writes Gordon Wittenmyer.

• Alfredo Simon asked to be released on bail; it's not yet known whether he can leave the country and join the Orioles, as Nick Madigan writes.

• Chipper Jones played third base for the first time since having knee surgery.

• Joe West, the longtime umpire, is looking very different -- about 42 pounds lighter, after a winter during which he says he cut out carbs and played even more golf than he had in previous offseasons.

• It's more likely that Kevin Slowey would be traded, rather than Francisco Liriano, if all the Twins pitchers stay healthy this spring, writes Jim Souhan.

• Oliver Perez had a good outing, as David Waldstein writes.
