Melky Cabrera has emerged as a leader on the White Sox thanks to a strong second half so far.

Cabrera is hitting .433 with nine doubles, three homers, 18 RBI and a 1.220 OPS in his last 14 games and is hitting .380 (52-137) with 15 doubles, two triples, six homers, 29 RBI and a 1.067 OPS in his last 35 since June 21.

Here’s White Sox manager Robin Ventura discussing Cabrera’s rise from a poor first half into a clubhouse leader:
