Marcos Cabral To Syracuse From Dunedin

A week after my prediction, it comes true. Toronto finally decides to send Syracuse infield help, and it happens to be a Dunedin player who is not an everyday player. Marcos Cabral is listed as a 3rd baseman, and comes to Syracuse after playing 10 games in New Hampshire and 12 games in Dunedin. Cabral started the season with New Hampshire, but was demoted to Single-A after batting .143 for the Fisher Cats. With Dunedin, he has hit .220

Yep, this sure sounds like a guy deserving to be in Triple-A. I guess that's always been the issue with Toronto. Most promotions to Syracuse seem to be undeserving. How can you justify to a guy on New Hampshire that Cabral gets to spend time in Triple-A when he was already demoted from Double-A? It's not like it's a logistical move, since New Hampshire is much closer to Syracuse than Florida. I figured we'd get Al Quintana for his yearly jump from Dunedin to Syracuse, but I guess they didn't want to spoil him.

Syracuse plays tonight against Rochester, weather pending
