Two-point-six million. Two million, six hundred thousand. Really?
I'm telling you now so that I don't have to say I told you so later. I know some of you are trying to take a positive approach to this. And in the spirit of the holidays I'm really trying not to be a Scrooge here. However, signing Daniel Cabrera to a $2.6 million dollar contract will be a waste of money and waste of 180 innings if he's healthy.
See, some of you are saying, "If he's healthy this is ok." I'm saying the opposite. I HOPE he's not healthy so we'll be subjected to his league leading walks, hit by pitches and wild pitches.
Daniel Cabrera stinks.
We couldn't give Redding $2.6 million, could we? At least we know what we can get out of Tim. Bah Humbug!!!
We have no idea what we can get out of either.
I do have an idea who has the greater upside and that would be Cabrera.
Cabrera beans all the good players in the division, they go on the DL, we reach the playoffs by attrition. The Nats overpaid to allow for all the league fines.
