MrMarlinPride Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Good Job by the F.O. Best Of Luck to Jorge! He did a great job in his time as a Marlins and should do well platooning in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Love Me Some Fish Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if he got more PT instead of only platooning....Chris Davis is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbethan Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 All the best to Jorge. I'll miss yelling like a stereotypical Mexican during his walkup music most of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Best of luck to Cantu. Hope he can find his groove there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitDaCycle Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 It's been pretty depressing watching Cantu play lately. It reminds me of Mike Lowell's last year with the Marlins before he went to the Red Sox. You just sat there scratching your head and wondering "what happened?" Cantu was doing really well earlier this season. Hopefully he'll have better luck with the Rangers. Now watch...next year, Cantu will win a Gold Glove..just wait..

Fish Dynasty Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Looking at the numbers, Poveda looks like he might be able to turn into something decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Cantu was an unsung hero here in FL for quite a while, but this move is best for everyone, really. I wish him the best Anyone know anything about these two prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamimarlinswin Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Best of luck to Jorge, I wish you nothing but success and thank you for your service and for being a Marlins. Welcome newcomers ! :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikol87 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Jorge wasn't unsung at all. If anything, he was overhyped. That said, he was a class act and I wish him all the best in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianBaller_ Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 good luck jorge. he was my favorite marlin during his time on the team. i think he'll do a much better job playing 1st base than 3rd as his previous stats show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2r09 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Good luck Jorge. I won't miss you. thats really quite thickheaded. he came as a minor league free agent invited to spring training and gave 2 great years before this one and just because he has had a couple of bad months you are really trashing his entire time here. jorge was a class act on and off the field and he will be missed.

yokofox33 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Good luck, Jorge. One of the best Marlins games I've been to was a day game against the Phillies where he had a walk-off hit. I got sunburned like crazy, but it was well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what I meant. I won't miss him because he no longer adds anything to this team. It's nice we got him a bargain, sure. 2. He was never great, here. People should stop saying that. He was a ~.800 .OPS bat the last 2 years who played horrible defense at 3B. For a corner infielder, the guy was pretty much average, even during his best years. Great are Hanley Ramirez, Josh Johnson, and Dan Uggla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Me Some Fish Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Maybe he meant that Cantu was great for a guy who had done nothing since '05 and battled injuries and thrived off a ST invite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroFishOne Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Good Luck Jorge in Texas. One of my favorite Marlins on and off the field for the past two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Greco Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Jorge was a class guy. It's sad to see him go, but it was time. I'm glad the organization got something in return for him as he was almost surely gone after the season anyway. I'm going to miss the way the spanish announcer said his last name at the ballpark. Cantuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
