Orlando Luis Cabrera, nicknamed O-Cab, (born November 2, 1974 in Cartagena, Colombia) is a Major League Baseball shortstop for the Oakland Athletics. He bats and throws right-handed. He won a World Series championship in 2004 with the Boston Red Sox. He has also played for the Montreal Expos, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and Chicago White Sox.

Cabrera is the younger brother of Jolbert Cabrera, a utility player in the Baltimore Orioles organization.

As a batter, Cabrera is a good fastball line-drive hitter that uses all fields with gap power. While not possessing blazing speed, Cabrera is an intelligent and aggressive base runner and consistent base stealing threat, and he also has the aggressiveness to hustle out numerous doubles and triples.

He has above average range to both sides, soft hands and a strong arm. He won the Gold Glove Award in 2001 and in 2007. In 2002 he led all Major League shortstops with 29 errors, and had the lowest fielding percentage among them (.962), though his defensive contribution was considered a key to the Boston Red Sox World Series victory in 2004.

In 2003, he finished second among the league shortstops in batting average (.297), slugging percentage (.415), runs batted in (80), and in stolen base percentage (24-to-26).

Cabrera was traded by Montreal to the Boston Red Sox in the summer of 2004, on the last day of the July trading deadline. Cabrera made Boston fans forget their anger over the Garciaparra four-team deal, batting .294 with six home runs and 31 RBI in 58 games.

Following his 2004 World Series victory with the Red Sox, Cabrera signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Angels organization. He replaced fan favorite David Eckstein at the shortstop position. In 2007, Cabrera led qualified AL shortstops with a .983 fielding percentage and a league-low 11 errors earning him the American League Gold Glove for shortstop. Also, he stole 20 bases for the third straight year and the fifth time overall.

After just one season with Chicago White Sox in 2007 Cabrera Cabrera signed a one-year deal with the Oakland Athletics in March of 2009.

Cabrera is a career .274 hitter with 105 home runs and 684 RBI in 1572 games. As a shortstop, he has compiled 2347 putouts, 4275 assists, and 147 errors in 6923 total chances, for a .978 fielding percentage.
