Phil Coke, a reliever for the Tigers and a likely candidate to replace Jose Valverde as their closer (Valverde hasn’t lost his closing job with Detroit yet, but it’s not going to be a surprise if he does), was on MLB Network’s Intentional Talk recently. In the interview, he told us a hilarious tale about striking out Miguel Cabrera before they were Tigers teammates. I’m not going to give away any further details, you’re just going to have to watch the video. [Deadspin]
