Cabrera, Everth

With only 27 at-bats above single-A ball, Everth Cabrera became the full time starting shortstop in one of the most difficult ballparks in which to hit with a team that was, shall we say, offensively challenged. Over 103 games he batted .255 with an OBP of .342 and stole 25 bases.

In a fantasy season where so much speed is flying around and relatively cheap speed, it's even more enticing than usual to move your speed to a middle infield position where the marginal power difference is not so costly. In 2008 Cabrera, playing Sallie ball swiped 73 bags. The speed is serious and he carries a nifty .384 OBP in the minors to go along with the .342 he marked on the big league level last season.

It must be said that Cabrera is a terrible shortstop defensively and he'd almost certainly benefit from the short throw at 2B where he played many of his minor league games. He'll improve, but you'll need to watch if this costs him at-bats.

If he can play the field, Cabrera looks to provide fantasy owners with a wealth of steals in the middle. .270-85-3-40-45SB 525ABs
