Talk:Jolbert Cabrera
In the 1995-1997 Guides, the scout is listed as Hobert Cabrera. In the 1998-2000 its Holbert. He's not listed before 95, although Renteria was signed in 1992, so if he signed Renteria he was around earlier. --Jeff 14:05, 31 March 2013 (EDT)
When I searched for "Holbert Cabrera", it brings up references to this Cabrera a few times. I guess Jolbert and Holbert are interchangeable in Colombia maybe? I did fine a 1996 article saying a Holbert Cabrera was managing in Colombia and had been for a few years. I'm assuming that's the dad. This article says Sr. scouted for several MLB teams. Lots of sources list Jolbert Sr. as signing Renteria - ESPN, New York Times in 2004. Here is an article listing Cabrera Sr. as a Colombian national team player in addition to being a scout. - --Mischa 12:34, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
