Jose Caballero has imposed a defensive clinic for the past 24 hours, both in Infield and Outfield.
On Friday night, he robbed Ben Rice from a home drive in the right field.
On Saturday afternoon, when he played shortstop, Tampa Bay Ray was utility man at the front end of one of the skirtans double games in recent memory.
In a series against New York Yankees, the red -hot Paul Goldschmidt came with the bases loaded at the top of the first place and no outs.

It was a nightmare scenario for Rays Pitcher Shane Baz, and Goldschmidt made things even worse by hitting a soil ball 105 km / h.
But Baz was in good hands with Caballero.
Originally, the 28-year-old did not come with the ball clean, but he was able to keep it in front of him. And he had no choice but to get one out by doing his best Jason Kelce reflection.

Caballero wandered the ball to Brandon Lowe for the first one out and he fired it first. Goldschmidt was originally controlled securely, but Replays showed Yankee first Baseman missed the base so it was controlled a double game.
The runner on the third scored, and the next dough, Jazz Chisholm, brought him home. But without the guide from Caballero, it could have been a much longer lap.
Trent Grisham homes in the second round to give Yankees a 3-0 lead.
