September 2, 200817 yr He's eligible for arbitration, but should still be an affordable option, provides more consistent bat in the offense than Jake. It's dead horse material, but the ideal situation is to trade Jake for some quality bullpen arms, move Cantu to first and see what Dallas can do. Gaby > Dallas While I am not high on either Gaby or McPhereson, at least McPhereson has power. That works both ways doesn't it? At least Gaby is a much more selective hitter. Put Gaby in Albuquerque and while he might not hit 42 out...he'd definitely have more. Gaby has drawn more walks than K's in his minor league career. They're different types of ballplayers...there's no point in comparing. Gaby is a good 3 years younger, btw.
September 2, 200817 yr hell yeah i want cantu back. to improve his defense i want him to move to 1st and then either let mcpherson play 3rd or sign a veteran 3rd baseman.
September 2, 200817 yr You know, Mike Jacobs is actually out OPS-ing Cantu. .801 v.s. .789. Personally I'm rooting for Gaby/McDallas corner IFers next year. Improved defense on both spots = woo Cantu has 17 errors and Dallas has 18(I know), but I would like to see this Opening Day: Ramirez SS Maybin CF Cantu 3B McPherson LF Sanchez 1B Ross CF Pudge C Coghlan 2B Nolasco P

September 3, 200817 yr IS cantu really that bad defensively anyway? I mean, i know his numbers are terrible. But over the past couple of months, he's been pretty good. I wouldnt mind seeing Cantu at 3B and Gaby at first next year. yes ever since june cantu has been very solid defenseively at both positions and has shown much improvement
