Where's The Beef? Jorge Cantu signs with Marlins


Just to give you a brief glimpse of how bad the Marlins are looking for the '08 season, the Marlins reached agreement on Thursday with Cantu on a one-year contract worth $500,000, plus incentives that could tack on another $100,000 based on plate appearances. Cantu was unable to duplicate his 05 success in 06 & 07, probably having to do something with a serious lack of "mongolian beef." The Marlins are hoping Cantu, Alfredo Amezaga & Jose Castillo can fill Miguel Cabrera's shoes. Maybe all three could fit in a pair of his old baseball pants but I doubt any combination of the three will come near the production of Miggy Cabrera.
