Daniel Cabrera

Cabrera Showing Promise in Return

A third gem in his past four starts since being recalled.

Could he have turned the corner via a mid-season demotion a la mark Teahen?

I do not know and would not take the chance if I were in a heated battle for the ring if ERA and WHIP are up for grabs.

Anywhere else? He should be grabbed. The risk is minimized and the upside is great.

At worst, he'd provide excellent off-season trade bait. At best, he lives up to the hype.

And that hype will be tremendous if he finishes 2006 strong.

Disclaimer: I have been trying to get him for a week or so and was unsuccessful because the team who had him on reserves decided to deal him for cap relief ($5 DC for $1 Joe Kennedy.)
