Asdrubal Cabrera Starting and Batting Fifth Saturday
6 years agoPhillies recent trade acquisition Asdrubal Cabrera is in the starting line up for Saturday's game against the Reds. Cabrera was recently acquired from the Mets in exchange for prospects and will see himself regularly starting in Philadelphia's infield going forward. Today he finds himself at shortstop, though he should expect to start at second base and third base on occasion. Philadelphia's defense definitely takes a hit as Cabrera seemingly replaces rookie Scott Kingery in the everyday lineup, however his bat is expected to more than make up for it going forward.
