Just feels like he had a career year last season and will come back to earth BIG TIME after cashing in this winter.<BR/><BR/>Orlando Cabrera earns a solid "Fuck No" from me. Mediocre player at this stage and on the decline. Upgrade? Sure, but not enough to justify the price tag and length of deal he's sure to get (3 years, I'd imagine). But hey - he has played in Canada before and enjoyed his time here - right Dick?The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.com
