No one saw this coming for Cabrera. No one. Heck, no one even really saw Cabrera duplicating his efforts from last year.

You keep saying this but you really have no clue if it's true. Did you conduct a survey of everyone in baseball?
"Everyone" also roundly mocked Moore for signing Frenchy. Can we blame him yet for that brilliant acquisition or is too early? What about Yuni Betancourt, who might literally be the worst position player in the game? We acquired him not once, but twice.
Clearly Brian Sabean thought Cabrera was capable of a repeat performance. But he has a WS ring so I guess he is content to not just go with what "everyone" else thinks about player evaluation.
