...right-handed hitter, as their 2B? I think it could be a real steal. At this point of the off-season, with the market completely deflated, what could he really get? Although he's not Orlando Hudson, he's much better than other's out there, like Mark Grudzielanek, Nomar Garciaparra, Ray Durham or Adam Kennedy.
Of course, I mean at the right price, which may be 2 or 3 million? No one would have ever projected the market would turn out like this, with lots of good players out on the market almost at the beginning of Spring Training. For what it's worth though, Cabrera's used to playing for competitors. Whether that be the Red Sox, Angels or White Sox. Would he really want to go back to the losing days of the Expos? Right now, the A's are the only other team pursuing him, who he'll probably end up with, but at this point, they look like a .500 point at best. The Mets give Cabrerra a much better chance to win. Obviously, there's concern of whether he could be a good defensive 2B, which he probably could. But if not, the worst case scenario is he's their right-handed hitter off the bench.
