Fernando Cabrera

[Delbird]

Cabrera was designated for assignment by Cleveland. He's only 25 years old. This guy looks like he might be similar to a righthanded John Parrish, do we have any interest? Is he closer material if someone can 'fix' him? What's the chance we get him on a waiver claim and drop someone like Paul Shuey?

Get him... he's better than Shuey at least.

The only reason anyone has any interest in John Parrish is because he is not righthanded.

Isn't he the guy who won the 1992 NLCS?

Francisco Cabrerra...good memories.

Less than 100 hits in his career. If Sid Bream wasn't such a speedster, no one would remember him.

The Sun is reporting that the O's indeed have made inquiries about Cabrera.

Trying to get Trachsel through waivers. If he does it may well be he being dealt for Cabrera.

I like this move if it can happen.

Bigbird speaks! This would be a great move. What are the chances someone claims him, though?

What are the chances someone claims Cabrera first ?

Also a relevant and important thing to consider. The article definitely assumes the Devil Rays will claim him.

Than he can only be traded to the Devil Rays, since they have the lowest winning percentage in the AL.
