Defensive Wizard Asdrubal Cabrera

Aaron ConklinMay 7, 2009

I watch as much Indians baseball as I can through the season.  But I live such busy life I really don't have much time.  I will tell you though that for the past three seasons I have definitely watched more because of Asdrubal Cabrera.

When I watch the guy in the field it takes me back to when Omar Vizquel was playing shortstop for the Tribe years ago.

Overall I try to watch all of the other young players in the league also to see how they are fairing in the League but I keep coming back to Asdrubal as being the best infielder in Major League Baseball.

Now I know this going to rattle a few feathers with some of the other die hard fans who love to watch there teams and baseball in general but this is just an opinion.  I will admit it is a strong one.

Asdrubal has only 5 fielding errors in the past three years at second-base, and that tells me that it's going to be a hard argument to win.

If there is anyone better I would love to see this guy play.  I know stats are not everything but when it comes to fielding.  The stats for fielding never lie about how good a defensive player is on the fielding.

Of course there going to be some folks out there who are going to say that he is not a complete player because of his bat also.  I will give you that he has not had the best bat of the second-baseman in Major Leagues.

Did Omar have the best bat either?

I know that Asdrubal has only really played one full year in the majors but it is hard to argue that he is not at least in the top-5 of the best middle infielders in the league.

I was just feeling like I had to say something for Asdrubal he really doesn't get a lot of publicity for what he brings to the Indians club.

Some of the plays that I have seen him pull off are rivaling some of the things the "wizard himself" Ozzie Smith used to do in his hay day with the St.Louis Cardinals.

I am willing to say this I think that Ozzie himself would say that Asdrubal is one of the top talents in Major League Baseball as an infielder.

To everyone who reads the article make sure to leave some feedback I want to hear what you have to say.

GO Indians!
