orlando-cabreraUndervalued shortstop Orlando Cabrera has somehow been traded five times. His last pitstop prior to coming to the Twins was Oakland, a place where apparently everyone spends a few months to catch some needed rest before jumping into an exciting playoff run.

He likes October. He’s been hot over the last 15 games or so, and last night smacked a two-run shot in the seventh to give his team the lead.

Tonight, he’s in the Bronx. Again. Trust me, Yankee fans don’t want to see this guy. He was a nightmare in the 2004 ALCS* and again in 2005 as a member of the Angels.

Clutch hitting, great defense and a general knack for doing something important late in games. This is what he does.

Let’s just hope he goes into a five-game skid.

Stay cottonmouthed, my friends.

*Always forget, Yankee fans, always forget.
