In other news, BTW, the Twins signed another pitching flier

[DocBauer]

So the Twins signed LHP Genesis Cabrera on a MILB deal to report to St Paul.

To be honest, despite having a 7yr ML career, I've never heard of the 28yo Cabrera until now, to the best of my recollection. 

What I find most interesting about him is that his ML career numbers greatly reflect his MILB numbers. Meaning, he doesn't appear to be a MILB arm with good/great numbers who just hasn't been able to translate to the ML level.

According to MLBtraderumors he has a mid 90's FB, a cutter, a curve, and a brand new splitter this season that has replaced his changeup. 

Not great control or great K numbers in his career.

But he's only a MILB pickup. Nothing to be excited about. Someone they think they MIGHT be able to tweak and become a useful LHRP option?

But it is news. Nobody has reported it that I can find. So I have done so here.

Hey, any and all news is appreciated. Thanks for that. You never know about these guys, plus he's a lefty, so maybe our expert coaches can find any untapped reservoirs of talent and unleash them!

He has been around. We have seen him. Cabrera fits in more or less.

I would think that a guy like this might have a good season in him, but wouldn't amount to much long term.
