If i were u i would get one of these guys and mayBE play cantu at third

Answer 2

he's a really good player but he wont take you over the hump if he is all you have

Answer 3

obviously you're asking this 'cause the guys listed above are spoken for.

Plus Cantu's eligibility at 3rd makes him more attractive.

but to answer the question- Yes Cantu is for real. Check out his 2005 numbers, 28 HR, 117 RBI, 73 R, 19 SB.  yeah, he's had more downs than ups in the majors of late, but he shown he can put up good numbers, this year is not a fluke.  its a return to form.
