Nationals DFA Cabrera

Found May 27, 2009 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
PLAYERS: Daniel Cabrera

After starting the year 0-5 with a 5.85 ERA, the Nationals have designated Daniel Cabrera for assignment. Cabrera has a pretty good fastball, but cannot command his secondary pitches, which has lead to 35 walks to just 16 strike outs. Cabrera will be 28 tomorrow, and will likely find a job somewhere soon.

I would think the Cardinals would be a good landing spot. Pitching coach Dave Duncan is the best pitching coach in baseball, having success with several pitchers that were considered busts. Other spots for Cabrera include the Padres and Indians.

Good Olly or Bad Olly?

Via cooperstownkid.blogspot.com  |  August 22, 2006
In 2004, the last pick in all 8 of my full season fantasy baseball teams was none other than Oliver Perez. Finishing with 239 K's he was well worth that last pick. Then in 2005, he was a huge bust. This season expectations of him were much lower, but there were still many of us were believed in both WHIP-killers Daniel Cabrera and Olly. Mr. Cabrera is now back in the big leagues...
