It depends on the rest of your team, as it always does. It's all about context, Rmilter, and you keep asking in generalities. If you have some cheap, good top of the order guys like Figgins, Taveras or Redman, the cash might be well spent on Cabrera, as you can bat him low. Ditto the pitchers. If you have cheap pitchers and an offensive team where he can bat number eight and anchor the defense, he may be worth it. However, if you expect him to make a sizable offensive contribution(top of the order), I don't think he is capable.
