When Marty Caswell interviewed Josh Byrnes the other day, she asked him who would fill in at shortstop if Everth Cabrera were indeed suspended for being named in Florida's biogenesis clinic's records. Byrnes said Logan Forsythe and Alexi Amarista would play a lot of shortstop and "maybe we'll look around for another".
Well Byrnes found another and he'll be starting tonight in Lake Elsinore, which makes all the Nancy Drews conclude that this is a sign that Cabrera will be suspended in the very near future.
Interesting. The #Padres have signed SS Ronny Cedeno to a Minor League deal. Scheduled to start tonight for @Storm_Baseball.

With The Storm playing only an hour northeast of San Diego the Padres can easily reach him from the prone position on their couch if the sh_t hits the fan.
Cedeno was just released earlier this week by the Houston Astros for sucking at baseball presumably.
