NL East Update: Cannot—Cantu!

Fish Stripes takes a look at one of the most underrated hitters in baseball, Marlins third baseman Jorge Cantu.

Cantu has been one of the most intriguing players in baseball since his arrival to Florida. Whether it be the small market he plays in, or being overshadowed by the rise of Hanley Ramirez, Cantu has quietly put together some impressive numbers and is a threat to reach 25 home runs and over 100 RBIs in any given season. Having been given up on by the Devil Rays and Reds, Cantu has seemingly found a home in Florida where he and his fellow infield sluggers, Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla are a fun and exciting team to watch as they swing for the fences at every at bat.

The Good Phight dug up some interesting numbers following Cole Hamels, Roy Halladay, and Jamie Moyer's dominating performances in Atlanta.

What a sigh of relief if you're a Phillies fan. In 23 innings pitched, the three starters gave up zero earned runs and allowed only 13 hits, giving the much depleted Phillie bullpen a rest. Phili will need more impressive starts like this from their rotation, especially now that J.A. Happ will be unavailable for a few weeks. Former Met Nelson Figueroa will take Happs spot in the rotation as he makes his first start in a Phillie uniform Saturday in Arizona. If the Figueroa experiment fails manager Charlie Manuel can then possibly turn to reliever Jose Contreras, who has struggled mightily with his role in the bullpen but has plenty of experience as a starter.

Despite having a respectable 8-7 record with some impressive wins, Braves Blast is concerned with the sputtering part of the Braves lineup.
