Jorge Cantu to the Reds?

Rosenthal just reported this on the Fox game that is on.

Interesting to say the least.

Re: Jorge Cantu to the Reds?

You finished 4th in the race sir. I finished 3rd only because of my extended thread title.

Haha

Re: Jorge Cantu to the Reds?

WTH do we need him for? Yes, he'd be a decent RH bench bat, a sure upgrade there, but IIRC he's got more than a bench salary. He's a 2B that plays 1B.

My only guess is that Conine is on his way out and they wanted a RH platoon partner for Hatteberg. Still, ????

Better be someone I could care less about losing.

Don't the Rays still owe us a player from Brendan Harris?

No word yet on whom the Reds gave up. I would have to hope that it was a middling prospect.

RL mentioned the theory of wanting a RH bat on the bench if Conine is soon to be traded. I could see that.

Re: Cantu A Red

We better not be giving up anything.

Cantu is one of the last appealing players I could think of going after.

Except he can't hit lefties, and never really has. Career wise, hes' been slightly better against righties. He is not the type you use a platoon player. I'd rather toss Hatteberg out against lefties too f those are the only options.

Here's his career line against lefties:

.291/.444/.735
