Daniel Cabrera had an enticing fantasy line on Thursday night.
9 IP, 3 HA, 1 ER, 1BB, 7 K and a 18/2 GB/FB rate.
One walk! Wow! His previous start he had seven walks!
Here's what coach Dave Trembley had to say after the game, as reported by CBS Sportsline, "Thats the best I've seen him pitch...In previous times, he'd spin out of control and he doesn't do it anymore. He keeps his focus. He Keeps his poise. He gets himself back in rythm. He goes back to pitching. He's not a thrower. Thats the big difference."
Maybe thats the case, but he still sports that horrible K/BB rate of 1.4/1 in 33.1 IP this year.
He has chewed up some innings and on occasion looks like he can control his ball a little bit, but we're gonna need to see some consistency before anything gets a little too carried away here.
Nonetheless, I guess he still merits a little attention.

As an Orioles fan, I have seen this routine way too many times to fall for it. Ignoring Cabrerra is the best approach for your fantasy team.
as another Orioles fan, his seven walk performance was TWO starts ago and was in pretty terrible rainy un-game-like situation. Last start, he walked 2 in 7.1. And before the 7 walker, his walks decreased in every start...5, 4, 3, 2, 0. Not that he won't explode again, but he's slowly getting that K/BB to a respectable place.
