So I’m a little behind in writing about Daniel Cabrera being non-tendered and signing with the Nationals.
The O’s haven’t exactly given me much of a reason to follow their moves this offseason, so sue me.
Anyway, yeah... Daniel CaBBrera signed with the Nationals.
The era ends.
Maybe now the Orioles won’t lead the MLB in walks.
I guess he won’t be plunking opposing batters as much any more, knowing he could get plunked himself when he steps into the batter’s box.
Even if Cabrera finds his “potential” in D.C., he was done as an Oriole. He constantly regressed over his career and he’s likely to be even worse in the NL, where his short temper and attention span will have to grapple with hitting. Or trying to hit.
So far he’s 0-14 in his career with 14 strikeouts and a sacrifice bunt (doesn’t count as an at-bat). But, he’s currently struck out 8 times in his last 8 at-bats, so only 5 more to go to break the record of 12 consecutive K’s by a hitter, which was set by Dean Chance in 1965.
Hey, that right there is enough reason to watch the Nationals more than the Orioles this year.
But don’t worry O’s fans. The O’s promptly filled Daniel Cabrera’s spot with Mark Hendrickson and his 5.07 career ERA.
Hendrickson may not walk as many batters, but the ERA will be about the same.
It’s all about consistency in Baltimore these days.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I
would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely
broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
