Daniel Cabrera is available
rosterbation alert: the Nationals DFAed Daniel Cabrera today. What about picking him up and giving him a shot as a reliever? I know he has been nothing but horrendous his whole career (thus getting released by the pitching heavy Nats) and more than likely will continue to be, but the guy has a hell of a live of a live arm and for a free scrap heap pick up I think it's worth a shot.
I'll save everybody the trouble: 35 walks in 40 innings, he would fit right in

Update
Live arm: now dead.
Had trouble hitting 90 on the gun this year with the Nats. Mostly pitched in the 86-88 range. Rather than finally harnassing his control he seems to have harnassed his velocity instead.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
This +1

This, I dont know why anybody would want him anymore, except for the Cards with Dave Duncan, if anybody could fix him, it would be Dave

We have enough relievers who can’t throw strikes.

Why?
We have Romo about ready to come off the DL, and Matos and Espineli – and, for that matter, Misch – pitching well in AAA. Bullpen filler is not something the Giants are in need of right now.

I think the only thing we’d want him available for is as the subject of numerous ’can’t hit the side of a barn’ threads.

AVAILABLE PLAYER?
GET HIM, GIANTS BRASSSSSSS!
Wait…Hell, no! Not being able to cut it on in the Orioles and Nationals’ rotations is a huge neon red flag screaming “stay the fuck away from this guy!”

the Mets enjoyed him greatly
when he was pitching for the Natinals.
I’m all for picking up anyone to throw in Fresno; if this involves money or a roster spot forget it.

My second favorite team is the Orioles, so I had to live through TWO HELPINGS of Armando Benitez. If I have to take two doses of Cabrera, my head will explode.
