Infielder Everth Cabrera says he is learning things from the Orioles coaches that the Padres never taught him. Perhaps Cabrera is simply trying to get in the Orioles’ good graces — he served a 50-game PED suspension in 2013, and in February agreed to a plea deal for resisting arrest. It’s true, though, that Cabrera is adding new elements to his game.
He had a tendency to retreat with his hands on grounders and baby the ball, but Orioles coach Bobby Dickerson has talked to him about securing and controlling the ball. Cabrera knew he was a below-average defender according to advanced metrics, and he volunteered as much to Dickerson. Clearly, he wants to get better.
