Cabrera will dominate

The way he dominated them last August getting knocked out after 2.2 innings and giving up 5 er?

Cabrera has much improved over the winter. Try reading some scouting reports. Scouts said he and AJ Burnett were the most impressive pitchers in Spring Training.
From the Baltimore Sun:

A scout who tracked 14 teams this spring said the two best pitchers he observed were Cabrera and Florida's A.J. Burnett.

"What I saw from Cabrera blew me away," he said. "He was throwing 94 to 96 [mph] with good sink, and he does it so easily. He's totally effortless. He throws on a downward plain. He has great tilt."

The scout noted how Cabrera's changeup and curveball, below average last year, are beginning to show more promise. When he got behind in the count last year, he didn't have a second pitch to rely upon. He had to keep pumping fastballs, and hitters eventually catch up.

"He's starting to work ahead in the count more, too," the scout said. "And he has so much confidence. He had a presence on the mound. He's really matured.

"His stuff is electric. He has a good feel for pitching. I see improvements, and that shows aptitude, the ability to make adjustments, which you need to do.

"Anybody would die to have him. He's very special. The Orioles would never trade him. If they did, they would be crazy."

I prefer actual performance. I know he's a good one with lots of promise. Doesn't mean he dominates a team that lit him up last season. Or does? Once he dominates them once rather than gets dominated maybe I'll take a taste.

Ever read the scouting reports on Chavez, Durazo, Kendall etc etc etc. Some of these guys actually have years of actual performance at the major league level!

We'll see later tonight.

You could be right. I just don't think it's worth betting on since he got rocked by the A's last time. I see no edge. I think there are much better opportunities.

I think the O's are pretty much gauranteed to win tomorrow. Cabrerra is pitching for them and the A's got some guy I never heard of pitching. If the A's can't score off of Lopez, they don't have much of a shot off of Cabrerra. He's the real #1 of the O's this point in the season.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Damn I feel like a total idiot right now. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I'm still in shock. I came home from work and saw the score and almost threw up. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] I never even once thought Cabrera would do so bad. I did have a bad feeling about Saarloos though. Even though I thought we would get him, I know the O's in the past have struggled very badly against rookie pitchers for some odd reason. I just feel so dumb right now. If anyone hasn't already, just ignore everything I ever say ever again. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
