How about Melky Cabrera?
The Braves released the 26 year old OFer today. He had a line of .255/4/42 in 115 games this year.
Anyone have any confidence he could find some productivity in GABP?

Re: How about Melky Cabrera?
Theres a reason he went from being untouchable to being traded for Vazquez to being released after just 1 season with the Braves... He's not as good as everyone thought.

Re: How about Melky Cabrera?
Same as when he was with the Yankees and some people wanted him. N.O.

Re: How about Melky Cabrera?
OTOH, he would immediately become the new RZ Whipping Boy tm. So at least he'd provide some value!

Re: How about Melky Cabrera?
Ah, the RZ whipping boy of the year nominations: Gomes, OC, and Stubbs early on, with an honorable mention of Bruce early on too.

Re: How about Melky Cabrera?
He has good bench value, but if he's your everyday center fielder (let alone left fielder), you're probably in trouble. Signing Cabrera to play every day would be the equivalent to signing Taveras. Sure, at his best, he's not bad--but his ceiling isn't very high, and his floor is very low.
