Miguel Cabrera has been the subject of trade speculation and said on Monday that he would prefer to play for a manager that speaks Spanish. He was then asked about Felipe Alou, skipper of the Giants.

"I'd like to play for Felipe, but I don't know if I'll get the chance," said Cabrera, who's from Venezuela. "He's one of the great managers in the big leagues. I've talked to him, and he's a great man."
