Cabrera actually manages to somehow be worse defensively than what they already had...but it's nice to beef up the lineup. Of equal importance is that they now have depth on the infield. I expect Flores to get starts at 2B, SS, and now 3B and still see plenty of ABs in his "everyman" role.

I figure Cabrera got money that had been set aside for Zobrist since Walker and Niese's salaries basically cancel out. That SHOULD mean the Mets will still have the money to move on Span or Parra.
