BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2012-01-24 13:00:00	Can keep 2 of the 3, no salaries or penalties - Asdrubal Cabrera, Brett Lawrie, or Craig Kimbrel. Who ya got? (Vernon from Sioux Falls)	Kimbrel and Lawrie, if for no other reason than because he'll carry higher trade value than Droobs. I also think he'll be pretty good too, but maybe not as good as some others seem to think. (Derek Carty)
2012-01-30 13:00:00	With the arbitration salaries that Asdrubal Cabrera (5.2 MM) and the Indians (3.75MM) exchanged, do you think it may be in Cabrera's best financial interest to go to arbitration considering his service time, Silver Slugger award, and home run totals? (Jamie from Cleveland)	The arbitration process is never a positive given that it involves advocates for one side saying that a player is really good and the other trying to make the case that no, he really sucks (while still paying him a lot of money). It's never fun to hear yourself denigrated by your boss, even if you don't get fired in the end. That said, the gap here is wide enough that a midpoint settlement seems a reach and Cabrera may have to go. (Steven Goldman)
2011-10-04 13:00:00	Everyone talks about Jurickson's average to above average tools. IF all works out for him, does he have an Asdrubal Cabrera (the one of this year) upside? (Greg31 from Milwaukee)	More upside than that. If Profar develops as planned, he is going to hit for average, with OBP skills and at least average pop (10-15). Factor in his above-average defensive projections and Profar could be a 5-7 WAR type. (Jason Parks)
2011-06-21 13:00:00	Asdrubal Cabrera ... playing way over his head, or did we vastly underestimate him? (dianagram from NYC)	He might be the biggest surprise of 2011, in my book. The K% and BABIP are the same as last yera, and the added power is driving up his BA. I want to say that it's a complete fluke, but I don't think it is. He's hitting his home runs to all fields with more distance than last year. I don't know if he'll maintain this pace, but he looks like a different hitter in terms of power this year then in years past. And the speed isn't that far out of line with our expectations coming in. He'll start getting caught a little bit, but another 10 steals the rest of the way isn't unreasonable. (Derek Carty)
2011-05-23 13:00:00	Is there any hope the AL Fans don't elect Jeter to the All-Star game? (Terry from NJ)	Oh, I would hope not, but there aren't any worthy long-time stars in the AL at shortstop any more, are there? I would expect that Asdrubal Cabrera would get some love from the fans with the Indians leading the division, and maybe Alexei Ramirez. Peralta, Aybar, Andrus. Surely the voters will find someone other than Jeter. (Mike Fast)
2011-04-12 13:00:00	The national media seems surprised by this Asdrubal Cabrera guy. What are your thoughts on his ability to be a long term league top 10 shortstop? (jhardman from Fiery Cuyahoga Canoe)	I think that depends on how long the current league-wide shortstop drought persists. As long as the list of offensive standouts at the position begins and ends with Tulo and Hanley, sure. He's a guy whose value will always fluctuate with his batting average, so while the hits are falling now, he could go through extended periods of substantially less production. (Ben Lindbergh)
2010-07-09 13:00:00	Asdrubal Cabrera will be the SS in 2012, AFAIK. Unless Jhonny gets re-upped, then all bets are off. But at 2B, you have Cord Phelps, Jason Kipnis, Jason Donald, and Luis Valbuena. None of whom I want to see on the other side of the diamond. (buffum from Austin TX)	Well there's always trades and free agency I guess. (Marc Normandin)
2010-03-26 13:00:00	Some forecasting systems, and some forecasters, see a potential for averageness out of the Tribe. What am I missing? (bigrick0016 from Cleveland)	Well, maybe Carmona's actually back - he's looked great this spring, and every inning he throws is one less that the poundable lefties who don't miss bats like Sowers, Laffey and Huff don't throw. Sizemore will be healthy, LaPorta will be around all year, Asdrubal Cabrera and Shin Soo Choo are for real, and Carlos Santana could be along this summer. That's a whole bag of interesting stuff there, and while there are no guarantees everything pans out, I'd at least buy a ticket to watch. (Jay Jaffe)
2010-01-21 13:00:00	Top ten GMs I can't think of ten amazing GMs out there at the moment. Shapiro has made some great moves, some ok moves, and then some horrible moves. Colon move - awesome Lee trade - not so much Casey Blake trade - highway robbery Matt Lawton - very bad Trade for Asdrubal Cabrera - a steal. Hafner deal - bad even if his shoulder didn't take a dive. (SaberTJ from Cleveland, OH)	So here's one yes on Shapiro. (Marc Normandin)
2009-12-04 14:00:00	Any thoughts on how special of a 2009 season Asdrubal Cabrera and Elvis Andrus had as very young shortstops with good-great defense and solid offense? ( Aaron from YYZ)	I think Cabrera is a little ahead of Andrus at this point but that Andrus will have the better career. I like both of them a lot. (John Perrotto)
2009-08-28 13:00:00	Any comments on Asdrubal Cabrera's season? Seems to me he's quietly having a great year. .315/.363/.449's not bad for a slick fielding 23 yr old shortstop. (rbm from dallas)	I think he's just about ready to become a star. I get to see Cleveland quite a bit in person and this kid is the real deal. Many Gold Gloves in his future. (John Perrotto)
2008-08-18 13:00:00	People in Cleveland are clamoring for Jhonny Peralta to move to 3B. Isn't he one of the best SS? Wouldn't the Tribe be better off signing a one year stop gap or giving Wes Hodges the gig in 2009? (warclub from Strongsville, OH )	Asdrubal Cabrera is the best shortstop the Indians have, and should be playing there. Whether that means Peralta at second base, shortstop or another team is irrelevant. Eric Wedge pinch-hit Jamey Carroll for Andy Marte the other day in a high-leverage situation. Why? What good is the rest of your season if not to find out if Andy Marte can be a major leaguer? (Joe Sheehan)
2008-03-14 13:00:00	I ask because the in the Indians team comments, it mentions that Asdrubal Cabrera will be league-average, but his player comment says he'll be "pretty damned good." I know league average performance is not something to scoff at, but those statements still seem contradictory. (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS)	In cases where dual authors seemed to make statements that didn't quite jibe, we asked them to go into a room and duke it out until we had achieved consistency. Without taking the time out now to revisit my notes on the chapter, the examples you cite feel close enough to agreement that the editorial crew probably didn't feel that they had to arbitrate that one.

2008-01-29 16:00:00	Thoughts on Asdrubal Cabrera? Is he the real deal? (ericturner29 from chicago)	Shhhh. Quiet down. Some of my stratomatic league competitors are reading this. I am NOT saying that I'm extremely high on Cabrera. I am NOT saying that I see a lot of Edgardo Alfonzo (the dominant, pre-back problems Alfonzo) in him. I do NOT want him on my fantasy team. Capeche? (Rany Jazayerli)
2008-01-24 13:00:00	Asdrubal Cabrera: real deal, or flash in the pan? (ericturner29 from Chicago)	Real deal. Not a superstar but a solid big-league middle infielder for many years. (John Perrotto)
