O-Cab at 2B/SS?

[StMarksCubs]

Since we all know we're (seemingly) stuck with our OF, for better or worse, maybe Hendry can swing a trade and get us an everyday 2B so we can get rid of the black hole in our lineup there? How do you guys feel about an O-Cab trade, since he's on the block, Hendry has had good luck pawning our crap onto Beane, and maybe he (or Theriot) can play 2B? He's got a great arm, great glove, and has been killing the ball for Oakland over the past month...

 

It just doesn't seem like we have what the Pirates want for Sanchez, who would be my first choice...

 

Thoughts? :pig:

I bet Mike Fontenot outperforms Cabrera the rest of the season.

[Keener98]

Cabrera .679 OPS this season Cabrera makes 4,000,000 Cabrera is 34 years old

Fontenot .671 OPS this season Fontenot makes 430,000 Fontenot is 29 years old

 

 

Cabrera will cost us something from out minor league systen, while Fontenot is already here. I fail to see why we would want Cabrera, yes hes had a good July, but other than that hes been horrible.

I think I remember hearing that he was a disruptive force in the dugout and clubhouse for the White Sox. Big reason he's been a number of clubs( just like Milton).

I remember there was something between him and the scorekeepers last year when they charged him with an error and he got on them about it. I dont remember how far it went though.

If I'm not mistaken, something on MLBTR mentioned the Cubs were in on Orlando Cabrera. His bat isn't outstanding, but he's likely to post a .720ish OPS with phenomenal defense. That's worth something, but not what it would probably take.

[SouthSideRyan]

Cabrera doesn't even have a 720ish career OBP. And he's [expletive] old.

Son of a bitch you set your standards high.....

Don't need much slugging with that really...

Meh. Come and talk to me when his SLG is .720.
