SF Chronicle

Utilityman Jolbert Cabrera will play in Japan next season with the Fukuoka Hawks.

The team also announced the signing of third baseman Tony Batista to a $15 million, two-year contract Tuesday. Batista hit 32 homers and drove in 110 runs for the Montreal Expos last season. He has also played for Baltimore, Arizona and Toronto.

"We expect a lot from him," Fukuoka manager Sadaharu Oh said. "He has a wealth of major league experience."...the rest...

Cabrera can play all around the diamond but is weak with the stick. I suspect his impact will be minimal...
Cabrera's stats are here.

Weak with the stick?

Batista hit 32 homers and drove in 110 runs for the Montreal Expos last season

Or am I misunderstanding baseball terminology?

Those are Batista's numbers. Cabrera hit 6 homers and drove in 47 runs last year. Batista also joined Softbank.
