How about we give him another chance? Because the alternative is pretty meh.
The transition to second isn't that hard for a shortstop.
His age is irrelevant, considering we're starting a 20 and 21 year old.
We arent in a pennant race.
We are indeed in a pennant race.
Cabrera with the Nationals is batting .328 / .405 / .578. I really don't understand the desire to sit him. Yes, Kieboom has more potential, but he just turned 22, struggled mightily in his debut in April, and while he had a good year in the PCL, he still hit just over .300 in a hitters league.
Maybe it makes sense once we're eliminated from division contention to bring him up and play him, but right now Davey should be fielding his best possible team. And that means starting Cabrera, not Kieboom.
