Dodgers showing interest in Cabrera

The Dodgers, apparently uncertain they can work a deal for second baseman Orlando Hudson, have also begun talks with free-agent infielder Orlando Cabrera.

Cabrera, a two-time Gold Glove shortstop, told the club he would be willing to move to second base, where Blake DeWitt came to camp as the heir apparent to the retired Jeff Kent. Shortstop is locked up by Rafael Furcal, who signed a three-year deal, although Cabrera would provide insurance if Furcal was injured again.

The 34-year-old Cabrera hit .281 with eight home runs and 57 RBIs for the White Sox, who acquired him from the Angels after Cabrera had signed a three-year, $26 million deal. He has 184 stolen bases in his 12-year career.

Both Orlandos envisioned free-agent riches this winter, only to find that the market crashed amid the global economic crisis. Cabrera received $10 million from the White Sox last season.

The Dodgers appear determined to land one of them to improve their offense and defense, even while continuing talks to sign free-agent outfielder Manny Ramirez.
06시즌에 쓸모없는 훌리오 루고(Julio Lugo)를 데리고 왔을때와 비슷한 기분입니다.

다저스의 담당기자 캔 거닉에 따르면 다저스가 올카(Orlando Cabrera)에게 관심을 드러냈다고 합니다. 그것도 "Strong interest"랍니다. 일단 올카를 데리고 와서 2루수로 쓰고, 퍼칼이 부상이 생긴다면 유격수로도 쓸 거라고 하네요.

모든 면에서 헛슨보다 못한 올카를 만약, 만약*100 데려온다면 그에게 얼마를 줘야 할까요? 1year/2M일란가요?ㅋ
헛슨이 4~5M정도라니...

더군다나 올카는 시삭스의 연봉중재를 거절한 상태이기 때문에 만약 다저스가 올카와 계약한다면 1라운드픽(전체 17번)이 시삭스로 날아가게 됩니다.
