The Giants could be a player for Cantu at first base, as could the Rangers if they become buys and want to add some pop to the lineup.  Finally, with Brandon Inge having cooled off in Detroit, do not be surprised to see their name swirl around.

I would suggest that Matt Lindstrom be available, as Leo Nunez is most likely the closer of the future and profiles to get a few more save opportunities this year.  Unfortunately, unless the Marlins receive a few relievers in other deals, Matt is here to stay. 

Look for Henry Owens to rejoin the bullpen in about a month, with is 100mph stuff, making the back end of the bullpen slightly more impressive.

The Marlins do have a relatively well-stocked farm system, so don't be surprised if they did into that to make a move, should they become buyers.  Mike Stanton, just promoted to Double-A yesterday, remains untouchable, as does Gaby Sanchez.  With hundred of prospects, we will not look to deep here, but who could be added to the team?

Look for the Fish, again, if they become buyers, to add a starting pitcher due to injury.  Tom Glavine would be a great Free Agent addition as he is familiar with the league and could be a great mentor to the youth-filled rotation.  Other starters on other rosters are of course a possibility, with San Fran being the most likely source.

The team may also try to add a more proven, every day third baseman once they wake up from the Emilio Bonifacio nightmare, and outfield is always a source of contention in Land Shark Stadium, as Cameron Maybe tears up the minors but did not find a place in the Majors.  The re-emergence of Alejandro De Aza as a possible player, and bargaining chip, should not be ignored though.
