Get a Cab... To Minnesota

The Twins have acquired Orlando Cabrera for Low-A SS Tyler Ladendorf.

Twins Side: The Twins desperately need a middle infielder and now get a nice 2-month rental as they attempt to make a late push for the Central. Cabrera is a solid hitter who has turned it on of late and should be a solid addition to the lineup.

A's Side: Ladendorf, 21, is hitting .233-.292-.267 at Low-A after starting the season on fire at Elizabethtown (R) hitting .410-.500-.721 with 4 homers in 61 at bats. No idea what to think.

Overall: Easy win for the Twins. If Ladendorf was 18, I would feel better, but a 21 year old who is just now getting his first taste of full season ball (and getting it midseason) doesn't speak too highly of how the Twins thought of him.
