The fact is, it has been weak since Cabrera left. You can't tell me it was weak while he was there. They won the 2004 world series and Cabrera was hitting like hell, and playing amazing defense. He was a big part of that massive second half charge they made, and their posteason success.
Ya, see I didn't know that Nomar left before Cabrera did. I can't tell you that Cabrera was weak because he wasn't in 2004 they went all out and won the World Series. There is no denying that Cabrera was their last good shortstop.

Was there any shortstop after him from 2005 -present that wasn't DFA'D /was a really bad shortstop?
