Another Daniel Cabrera sighting

Former Orioles right-hander Daniel Cabrera received another chance to make a comeback to the major leagues when the Los Angeles Angels signed him Thursday.

The Angels added Cabrera, 29, to the roster of the Double-A Arkansas Travelers, where he is expected to pitch out of the bullpen. To make room for Cabrera, the Angels released left-hander Jayson Miller.

Cabrera was 0-6 with a 6.00 ERA in 15 games (nine starts) while splitting the 2009 season between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was also 0-1 with a 6.14 ERA in four starts for the Reno Aces, Arizona's Triple-A affiliate, last year.

In spring training, Cabrera worked out with the Chicago White Sox, but he was released before the beginning of the season. He made three appearances during the spring, giving up seven runs and eight hits in three innings.

Here is a link to The Baltimore Sun's photo gallery of Cabrera.

everyone deserves a second chance, plus this is a minor league signing. Not a bad move imo if they can get him to get consistent and maybe get him out of the bullpen. Best of luck danny.

On another note, Adam Loewen is doing quite well (.291, 7 HR, 31 RBI) as an outfielder for New Hampshire... whatevers...

In fact, Loewen's numbers AA numbers compare favorably with Robert Andino's AAA numbers (.235, 7 hr, 35 rbi). Wonder how Lugo stacks up ...
