Recently according to Major League sources, the Rockies are making a push for veteran infielder Orlando Cabrera. The team have an open roster spot, and general manager Dan O'Dowd has been monitoring the market with veterans such as Cabrera, former Orioles All-Star Melvin Mora and Gold Glove Award winner Orlando Hudson. Rockies manager Jim Tracy was the Expos' bench coach and Rockies assistant general manager Bill Geivett was a key figure in player development when Cabrera came up with Montreal in the late 1990s.
Cabrera split last season with the Athletics and Twins and hit .284 with nine home runs and 77 RBIs. The right-handed-hitting Cabrera has spent most of his career at shortstop, but with Troy Tulowitzki entrenched at the position, Cabrera would only be seen as insurance there. He also has experience at second base, where the Rockies have Clint Barmes. Hope that he can play on the fileld in the rockies jersey.
