I want to bring up the topic of Daniel Cabrera, our former Oriole, who was released by the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Well, it looks like the same problems that led to his release from Baltimore got worse in Washington, and he never seemed to improve at all.I know the complaints of him in Baltimore -- being a ten cent head, a lack of control, never developed, the walks, etc...

Nationals Would Pounce On Cabrera?
According to the Washington Post, the Orioles could decided to not tender a contract to wild pitcher Daniel Cabrera, who could be looking at at least three million dollars despite a disappointing season. Cabrera is young and needs time to mature, so expect several teams competing for his services if he is released. The Nationals could move in on Cabrera keeping him close to his home...

Pending a physical, the Nats will get a right-hander who has led the American League [...]

Bad enough that the team doctor examined him yesterday to check for structural damage. Finding none, they tried to explain how any Major Leaguer could blow so hard without requiring an immediate backiotomy.

Maintaining Velocity
A few weeks ago I took a look at pitchers that saw significant changes in their average fastball velocity from '08 to their first few starts of '09. At the end of that post, I wondered how sustainable those velocity increases/decreases were going forward, and how much of it was just noise.As it turns out, those changes were quite sustainable. The regression below looked...

Did the Nationals get a gem in Daniel Cabrera?
The Nationals signed Daniel Cabrera yesterday to a one year, 2.6
million dollar deal where it seems that they beat out the Pirates and
the Mets among others to get the big pitcher. How big is this signing?
Well right now it seems pretty small. Living in Baltimore, I am very
familiar with Cabrera's stuff. He is a big guy, really he's huge not

Nationals DFA 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...

So Daniel Cabrera Was Just That Bad?
It got so bad, most folks guessed that his arm had been demon possessed and required extensive medical treatment.
And now we hear that there was nothing wrong at all, and that scar tissue is to blame for a pitcher who can't hit the broad side of the Chesapeake Bay.
