The Reds have moved Orlando Cabrera into the leadoff spot Friday and dropped Drew Stubbs to seventh. | ||||||
Yeah, Stubbs has struggles this year, but he's also scored 16 runs while using 78 outs. Cabrera, who has an ugly .292 OBP himself, has scored 11 runs and used 84 outs. And now the Reds have their team leader in RBI hitting directly behind the pitcher. Genius, Dusty. | ||||||

Orlando Cabrera went 3-for-5 and delieverd a walkoff homer off Pedro Feliciano in the bottom of the 10th as the Reds edged the Mets 5-4 on Wednesday. | ||||||
Feliciano faced one batter and got a win Tuesday. Today he faced one batter and took a loss. Cabrera's homer was his third of the season. He hasn't excelled with his .257 average and just seven walks in 101 at-bats, but he's knocked in 16 runs while hitting second for the Reds. | ||||||
