Asdrubal Cabrera has certainly not panned out thus far in 2008 for owners who felt he might be an excellent sleeper pick going into this years Fantasy Baseball draft.
Perhaps the unassisted triple play he recorded off the bat of the Blue Jays first baseman Lyle Overbay will provide some good karma for the Cleveland Indians middle infielder.
Cabrera somewhat nonchalantly flipped the ball to a lucky fan who opted out of watching the Cavaliers VS the Celtics – and instead nabbed a little piece of history while attending last nights game at Progressive Field.
It was only the 14th such play recorded in Major League Baseball history - and yet it was the third time the Indians have turned such a rare trick.
Last season - Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki provided a three for the price of one versus the Atlanta Braves.
WaiverSharks had Asdrubal pegged for great things prior to the start of the 2008 season – so now let’s hope this rare occurrence sparks some fire in the talented second baseman’s bat!
Happy Mothers Day, Mom!
After you’ve picked up some flowers, or something nice for Mom– perhaps consider picking up Ryan Franklin (STL) – particularly if you could use some help in the “Saves” department. Although a committee may be forming in St. Louis – it appears Franklin will have the first crack at closing duties for the Cards.
If Franklin’s already been snapped up - Guillermo Mota (MIL) could turn out to be solid consolation prize. A closer three headed monster could develop here since Ned Yost can never seem to make his mind up on anything – but Mota would be the best bet if the one time untouchable Eric Gagne continues to mirror Jason Isringhausen’s
“I shouldn’t be closing right now” sentiment.
