But then tomorrow, he will go back to playing third base.

March 25, 2008
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez formally dubbed Jorge Cantu his starting third baseman on Tuesday, according to the AP. "I really worked hard in the offseason. I have to regain my status. Things have gone real good this spring, but I still have to play good every day," said Cantu. He had 28 homres and 117 RBI in 2005, so he still carries quite a bit of upside, so long as he can keep things up over the long haul.

My main goal was to come in and compete for the third-base job. There is still competition out there. But everything is going in the right direction. I came into Spring Training working hard. I worked hard in the offseason with a personal trainer in Houston. It's paying off." Sounds like Cantu is primed for a solid campaign.

Jorge Cantu signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins Friday, according to the AP. The Marlins are hoping Cantu can fill the void at third base. However, he has done very little since blasting 28 homers with 117 RBI in 2005, so he won't simply be handed the job. Jose Castillo is expected to receive consideration for the third-base job, as well.
January 3, 2008
The Marlins could be close to inking Jorge Cantu to a deal. He would compete with Jose Castillo for the third base job. "It's a situation that's intriguing to Jorge," Cantu's agent, Steve Canter said in the Sun-Sentinel. "There's a definite connection here. A lot of the front office that was in Tampa is over in Florida now and they're fully aware of his abilities. He had a really strong finish to the season so he'll get a lot of interest from several clubs, but this could end up working out." The Fish are also looking at Dallas McPherson for the hot corner.
