HitTracker :: Player and Field Detail
I know the Atlanta braves got hosed dealing Javy Vazquez for Melky Cabrera and two minor leaguers. I also know that Melky had his best season to date last year - 13 HRs and 28 2Bs - with a very good contact rate of 92%.
As a contrarian, I wonder if the 24-year-old Cabrera could surprise and produce a season of 15/75. His Hit Tracker data shows 8 of his 13 HRs headed towards the sweet spots of the new Yankees Stadium. I am not holding out as much hope as Barack Obama held out to his believers.
With a couple more years of control than the Yankees have with Vazquez, the Braves can win the trade if Melky manages to repeat his 2009 production, though.
