Jorge Cantu Redefined

Jorge Cantu has gotten his share of space on this blog. Apparently, if you want to join the Cantu Fan Club, just become a contributor to The South Florida Fan.

I may be his lone critic right now, but I can eat my words when proven wrong. Cantu has certainly turned it up a notch, going 9-21 (.429) in his last 5 games, with 2 doubles, 4 runs, 3 RBI, a HR, and (gasp) 1 walk.

That brings his season total to a respectable .297/.316/.432. Ignoring his atrocious defense for a moment, I'd say that's pretty good. The OBP is still terrible, but he's deserving of a boost. Grade: B-
