Printcabs says he will decline to accept a minor league assignment and become a free agent. good luck w/ that, buds. as frustrating as cabrera has/had been, i always feel sort of bad for the guy, for some reason. ah, well.
also, in case you missed my thrilling fanshot, the o's have also released chris vinyard. w/ apologies to jolie holland, i say adieu, false hope.

He's making a $2.6MM salary this year
And he’ll keep getting paid that salary even if he doesn’t “work” for the rest of the year..
Good thing he’s refusing a minor league assignment, otherwise people might find out he’s not worth a crap down there either.
Next stop, York Revolution. Come on, Danny! Do it!
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
or LI Ducks?
Where was it Gibbons landed (Jay, not John)?

The guy made millions on his "potential"
He should be OK. The O’s never did him any justice by rushing him to the majors. I don’t think he’d ever have been much better, but he had to learn in the big leagues. I still like D-Cabs, but he’s now part of an Orioles era I hope is long gone by next year.
Next stop:
Newark Bears! Come on down D-Cabs! I’m gonna have the coolest O’s autograph collection EVAR!
(disclaimer: he isnt actually going to the Newark Bears. Yet.)

Just wait for the Yankees to start struggling again.
At least he didn’t punch a judge… that we know of.

As bad as Cabrera was for the Nats...
Adam Eaton was even worse for the Orioles. Actually, a lot worse (8.56 ERA in 41 innings for Eaton versus 5.85 ERA over 40 innings for Cabrera).
Here’s hoping our young arms prevent us from seeing the likes of either Eaton or Cabrera again for a long, long time.

Did you see the quote from GM Mike Rizzo?
Click the link in JQ’s post…
“I was tired of watching him.”
We know the feeling all too well, Mike.

OMG, sadly hilarious.

So were we Mike
Check out these peripherals:
WHIP 2.075
H/9 10.8
HR/9 0.9
BB/9 7.9
K/9 3.6
I would like $2.6M now please. I’d walk less batters at least, but probably give up more HR.
Matt Wieters broke a bat last night. Nobody knows what happened to the ball.
Cabs may be hurt. His pitchfx data show that he’s losing velocity on his fastball. He’s down to 90.8 mph on his fastball this year. In 2007, his fastball registered at 95.2 mph.
