Giants add O. Cabrera in trade with Indians
By Chris Haft / MLB.com | 07/31/11 12:07 AM ET
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Cabrera, 36, will become the club's
primary shortstop. Cabrera has played 83 of his 90 games this season at
second base for Cleveland, which has American League All-Star Asdrubal
Cabrera at shortstop. But moving back to short, where he has played 1,807
games, shouldn't be a problem for Cabrera.
Left unanswered was what the Giants will do with Miguel Tejada when he's
activated from the disabled list. Tejada, who's recovering from a lower
abdominal strain and is eligible for activation Thursday, signed a one-year,
$6.5 million deal before the season to be San Francisco's shortstop. But the
Giants have been disappointed with Tejada's lack of range on defense and
subpar hitting, as illustrated by his .242 batting average, .274 on-base
percentage and .334 slugging percentage. Bochy indicated that the Giants will
address the Tejada issue when he regains his health and is ready to play.
Cabrera hasn't exactly outperformed Tejada at the plate. A right-handed
batter, Cabrera is hitting .244 with four home runs, 38 RBIs, a .277 on-base
percentage and a .321 slugging percentage. Cabrera also has participated in
six of the past seven postseasons with Boston (2004), the Los Angeles Angels
(2005, 2007), the Chicago White Sox (2008), Minnesota (2009) and Cincinnati
(2010).
Bochy indicated that with Tejada sidelined, the Giants wanted another
right-handed-batting shortstop immediately. They were forced to start
left-handed-batting Mike Fontenot on Friday against Reds lefty Dontrelle
Willis. The alternative would have been rookie Brandon Crawford, another
left-handed hitter who's an excellent defender but is hitting .190. Crawford
is likely to return to the Minor Leagues when Cabrera joins the Giants.
"It's tough for him," Bochy said of Crawford. "He's done a nice job, but it's
hard for him to hit Major League pitching when he hasn't played a lot at
higher levels. We felt we needed an experienced guy there who's accustomed to
playing shortstop every day in the Major Leagues."
The Giants will be Cabrera's ninth team. In 1,945 games with his previous
eight, he has batted .273 with 122 home runs.
"I think he's a good player," said Giants reliever Guillermo Mota, who played
with Cabrera from 1999-2001 for Montreal. "He can help [us] a little bit
here."
Neal, 23, had spent six years in the Giants organization. He was batting .295
with two home runs and 25 RBIs in 60 games for Triple-A Fresno.
