Angels interested in Cabrera
Why?
According to numerous sources, the Angels have been inquiring about Montreal Expos shortstop Orlando Cabrera, but it's a mystery as to where they would put him if they acquired him, and what kind of trickle-down effect it would have on the rest of the lineup.
Once again, I ask, why?
UPDATE: I guess the talk is that acquiring Cabrera would allow Stoneman to deal Kennedy. While I'm all for getting Kennedy's contract off the books, replacing him with a rent-a-player of Cabrera's quality (.237/.295/.322) instead of Chone Figgins is simply ludicrous. It's either that, or Cabrera is Stoneman's idea of an answer at third. He is no such thing. If he's intent on picking up one of his old pals from his Expos days, it better be Armas.
If we give up anything resembling a real prospect for a worthless rent-a-player (who we'll end up paying $3m, I might add) I will lead an armed revolt against Angels management. We will take the front office by force! Who's with me!?
