2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Alberto Cabrera in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
PDetroit Tigers  
May 10, 2015
Cabrera has been dominating Triple-A hitters so far this season. He has a 0.87 ERA in his first 10.1 innings and a 14:5 K:BB. Batters are hitting a paltry .094 against him.
ANALYSIS
Cabrera has a big fastball that can hit the mid-90s and a biting slider that was once considered the best in the Cubs' farm system. His .158 BABIP is unsustainable, and those five walks in 10.1 innings are concerning, but we'll still give him credit for his hot start. He's not on the Tigers' 40-man roster, so a move would need to be made to bring him up at any point this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2014
2013
There are some interesting numbers in Cabrera's minor league career, including a 74:14 K:BB ratio in 2012, but for the most part, his career has been one full of baserunners. His strikeout rate has always been decent, but the walks -- including 23 in 27.2 big league innings -- are a real problem. He'll likely be on the Iowa-Chicago shuttle this year, but his fantasy value will be minimal unless he lucks into a ninth-inning role, and even then, his skill set indicates he wouldn't be too successful with that job.
Cabrera was called up after the Cubs dealt away most of their pitching staff and predictably struggled in 21.2 relief innings. At Double-A, he dominated with a 45:10 K:BB ratio in 35.2 innings. He had an even more stellar 29:4 K:BB mark at Triple-A in 19.1 innings, but gave up 29 hits and four homers in that span. The Cubs are reportedly converting him back into a starter this season which means he'll likely hone his craft in the high minors - at least for the first few months.
