Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Which perhaps goes to the heart of the matter: It isn't that the Indians need Cabrera to start for them so much as they have a genuine shortage of people who can handle the position. Because of that lack of depth, leaving The Donald at Columbus may wind up being as much about making sure they keep the affiliate happy as it does with manipulating his service time—it is, after all, just The Donald.

Christina Kahrl analyzes the Cabrera signing at BP. I believe the article is free for all. There's much more in the full article.

[Regarding the quoted paragraph] I don’t buy it. If we needed a guy like that, we could have signed another Adam Everett to a minor league deal.

It is true that Donald’s service time could use a little manipulating, but I don’t think the Indians would pay a million bucks mainly for that purpose.
