Last night, the Nationals signed Daniel Cabrera, 27, to a one year, 2.6 million dollar deal from the O's.This is a terrible signing for the Nats. Cabrera really stunk in Baltimore last year, going 8-10 with a ERA of 5.25 to go with 90 walks and 18 Hit batters. He will be part of the Nationals rotation, probably to replace Tim Redding, who was non tendered last week. Cabrera does have talent, and when he is at his best is a strikeout pitcher, if he learns to use his height (6-9, 258 lbs). I also hope his transition from AL to NL would matter.
Is he a good hitter? Last year I was watching an O's game(where I was I couldn't get Masn) and Cabrera was batting. The first two pitches were swings and misses on balls two feet outside of the strike zone. The third pitch was a meatball right down the middle, and he jumps back in terror as if he was just shot, strike 3. Anyway he is 0-14 with 14 strikeouts. In other news..................
