The Giants have brought Cabrera along slowly, giving him two years in the Dominican Summer League and two more in the Rookie-level Arizona League. Though he played primarily second base last summer, he spent the fall working at shortstop and has played seven positions overall, giving San Francisco a versatile young athlete. Cabrera has offensive potential, showing the ability to play the small game and use his speed. He also has improved his ability to stay inside the ball and drive pitches. Cabrera has gotten stronger since signing and needs to keep doing so. The Giants consider him the most dedicated Latin American player in the system and a role model for other youngsters following him from the Dominican. He should get a chance to show his skills in full-season ball this year at Hagerstown.

Primarily a slap hitter, Cabrera batted .322. He also is an above-average runner and showed solid middle-infield actions at second base. Managers also praised his aggressive nature.
