Not a bad trade because Cabrera is worthless. I said before the season I had no confidence in him to make it through a whole season. Getting anything for him was a bonus, because he wasn't that good before he was able for AARP benefits. I've read/posted enough garbage about Cleveland for one night, so I'm done. Fingers crossed that Antoinetti is a better GM than I/most of Cleveland could be, but given the track record of this team and city I highly doubt it.

Indians got a steal. Thomas Neal is a top 100 prospect.

However, Mulva, I wouldn't say OCab was worthless. He was very instrumental in turning the Tribe around. He helped Druby A LOT in the offseason and he was a great clubhouse guy. It's like losing a good coach who also contributed a little on the field. He had some big games for us early in the year.

Good trade. Now Kipnis will play everyday. He hits lefties as well as righties anyhow.

Neal was the Giants 7th rated prospect and ranked in the top 100 in the MLB.

Not bad for Orlando imo.

O-Cab seems to have good Karma, that's for damn sure!

I really don't know anything about Thomas Neal, but this article is interesting.

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2011/7/30/2306633/orlando-cabrera-giants-trade-thomas-neal


The Indians best trades recently have pretty much been under the radar deals at the time that have become absolute steals, as mentioned in the link.

Another intriguing article on Neal. He might not amount to much, but for Orlando Cabrera it seems that the Indians did pretty well.
