However, Cabrera had his best season last year with the Royals. Being an Indians fan I saw him a lot last year, and looking up his numbers on BB Ref, he had career highs in hits (hard to believe but over 200), BA, RBI, slugging, and OPS. Also, he came up with the Yankees at a young age, and he's only now 27, so I guess the Giants are crossing their fingers that last year wasn't a one year peak and hoping they can get a few good years before the inevitable decline.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171340244169773103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629281127274459200.post-83482078152847908142011-11-07T17:42:15.101-05:002011-11-07T17:42:15.101-05:00When I saw this trade, I was like, really?!

He is.<br /><br />I always liked him in NY - he brought a nice bit of enthusiasm to the team. He just wasn't a very good player. I was at the game when he robbed the Manny HR, which was awesome.<br /><br />Anyways, interesting deal and I'll be curious to see who comes out on top.The Lost Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281282785351456790noreply@blogger.com
