Dick Allen Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Melky is actually younger than Gardner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Melky Cabrera could be a defensive upgrade, but with Rios already out there, it'd be at best a small upgrade in CF and a decent upgrade in RF. However...the impact of a solid upgrade in RF defense is going to be minimal. What this team really needs is bats, esp. bats that fit a certain profile, either LH power or a high OBP/leadoff type hitter to balance things out. Cabrera...career .331 OBP, will hit probably about 10 home runs, put up an OPS somewhere around .725-750. He's just not a very good fit for our current needs. There are potentially better options on the trade market, and if Crisp is healthy, he's a similar player off the FA market that we wouldn't have to give up talent to trade for, and who might fill the leadoff role slightly better.

Kalapse Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I still don't understand how Melky Cabrera gained this repuation of being a very good to great defender, aside from his arm he's yet to show these special defensive abilities over a full season.

There's a lot I don't understand about Melky love. I think the Yanks just went to town hyping him up and everyone listened for some reason. I guess all accounts have him as an incredibly toolsy player but I have yet to see anything to fall in love with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
