Scouting Report: David Ortiz's cousin, but doesn't have the same frame as Big Papi. Speedy and electric with an athletic build. Cabreja has played both CF and RF, and was even given some time at 2B in spring 2008. Contact rates have been a problem in the past, but he's improving, particularly with avoiding wild swings out of the zone. When he does square up and make contact, the ball jumps off his bat well. Not a whole lot of power potential.
