MLB Trade News: Indians Reportedly Trade Orlando Cabrera to Giants
The headline really says it all. The Cleveland Indians have reportedly unloaded their veteran gamble for the season – Orlando Cabrera – for an injured AAA outfielder named Thomas Neal. The good news? Thomas Neal bats right handed. Not exceptionally powerful, but he is right handed.
Cabrera was reportedly a good clubhouse guy until the Indians brought up his replacements...

A Tip of the Cap to OC
Orlando Cabrera has announced his retirement at 37.He played less than half a season in Boston, and was traded for mysterious reasons. There are rumors that you can google.But, he remains the Man Who Replaced Nomar, and he did so admirably. He also, of course, was an important member of the 2004 World Series team (every player on that team was important).So cheers, OC. If things...

Cactus League countdown: S.F. Giants
Plenty of major league teams spent the winter wheeling and dealing, laying the foundation for rebuilding or angling for that missing piece or two.
Not the San Francisco Giants. Their biggest acquisitions of the offseason came via the disabled list.
When the Giants arrive in Scottsdale for Cactus League they'll have catcher Buster Posey and second baseman Freddy Sanchez back...

Orlando Cabrera Trade Analysis
The Giants made one more trade before the non-waiver trade deadline acquiring Orlando Cabrera from the Cleveland Indians. The Giants management thinks that he is an upgrade at shortstop, I would have to disagree but in the end the deal at least on paper isn't going to make or break the Giants chances.
In the deal the Giants sent outfield and middle of the road prospect Thomas...

EMail Q&A: Is Orlando Cabrera an option for the Mets?
Mark recently sent an email asking: “Has Orlando Cabrera been considered as an option for the middle-infield? I think he’d be a great fit for the Mets as a proven winner, mentor to Tejada and Murphy on a one-year deal, and quality middle infielder who will hopefully accept the role as a backup, but should still get plenty of starts. I’d prefer him way before Jack...

Giants Win, Do All Sorts of Weird Things
To say this was a strange game would be the understatement of the season. This was a supremely peculiar game in every sense of the word. Orlando Cabrera hit fifth, the Diamondbacks threw out a white flag lineup by deciding to rest their catcher, left fielder, and second baseman, and Guillermo Mota might have pitched Barry Zito out of a job with six strikeouts in two innings....

The Giants’ trade acquisitions — Jeff Keppinger, Orlando Cabrera, and Carlos Beltran — have not been drawing walks since coming over. The three have combined for just four walks in 146 plate appearances (a 2.7% walk rate). With Keppinger and Cabrera, it’s not terribly surprising, considering that...

Another one bites the dust. With Orlando Cabrera announcing his retirement yesterday, we lose one of the last few players that can be largely identified with the now defunct Montreal Expos. It is a club that might soon be extinct, actually. Out of all the remaining "true" Expos, just Vladimir Guerrero and, arguably, Javier Vazquez remain and both of those players are...

An Organizational Philosophy Built to Fail
It’s no secret that the Giants offense has struggled this year. Oftentimes, you’ll find yourself cursing the sky every time Orlando Cabrera grounds out weakly on the first pitch, or when Aaron Rowand exists. It’s been a tough year for a team riddled with injuries coming off of a 2010 season where practically everything went right. Each loss adds to the population...
