August 25, 201014 yr I think Cantu was leaved when his values were almost lowest, so no one can care about him. Poor Cantu.
August 26, 201014 yr Marlins took a nice gamble on Cantu. He wasnt in the future plans (thankfully) and they may have gotten a pitcher that has a chance to succeed at the major league level unlike most of the clowns on the major league staff currently.
August 28, 201014 yr I don't take any pleasure in Cantu's struggles. I'm really rooting for the guy. Same here. Id love for him to be awesome once again. Cantu was great, and was a great person too.

August 28, 201014 yr His April's were great. Nothing about his career suggests he's a "great" player. Ive got nothing to complain about with 2 seasons of + .275 batting and + .800 OPS along with 45 HRs and 200 RBIs. That's great, maybe not a superstar, but good enough for me to be called great.
August 28, 201014 yr He was a very pleasant surprise for just being a spring training pie in the sky guy a few years ago.
August 28, 201014 yr get over it dude. cantu is a class act, had some nice years with us and moved on. would be nice if you did too

Cantu's .OPS #'s here... 2008: .808 .OPS 2009: .788 .OPS 2010: .719 .OPS Combine that with his terrible defensive play, specifically at 3B, and he wasn't great here. I wish him the best too, but that's a very replaceable "starter." Not great.
August 28, 201014 yr From what we expected of him, he played great. What I originally quoted simply said "Cantu was great;" not "Cantu was great for what was expected of him."
August 28, 201014 yr if i have to sit through cantu arguments again, ill claw my eyes out Get those nails ready.....for..... THE BATTLE OF THE POSTERS WHO NEVER GIVE UP! These guys make Tenacious D look like, well, just "D". Their arguments last longer than Everlasting Gobstoppers. This time, they won't stop until after the heat death of the universe. In the left corner, we have: ERICK!!!!!!! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvEnIkz82A0 VERSUS In the right corner, we have: DR BEINFEST!!!!!!! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E_772ad7ek Rematch #2,895 I want a long, drawn-out, hair-splitting, obnoxious fight. Now let's get it on!!!!

I dont know why anybody would call this season great. (.808 + .788)/2 = ? ,798 ~ .800 One season he had over, one season he had under. I gave him the benefit with the +.808. Anybody who completely exceeds expectations like that, and puts up those kind of numbers is great. I really dont care about your opinion in this situation my friend, it seems to me that all you want to do is argue for the sake of arguing, and trying to pick out specific choices of wording in my text. Calm down.
August 28, 201014 yr From what we expected of him, he played great. What I originally quoted simply said "Cantu was great;" not "Cantu was great for what was expected of him." What I think is you like to disect peoples writing a bit too much, and you read into things way too much. Just because I didnt etch it into stone doesnt mean that this was not what I meant. Cantu. Was. Great.
