Can Not, Cantu
Thank goodness for Jorge's bat but considering his now-official status as "the worst defensive player on earth" the wisdom of Fredi's "almost like giving Cantu a day off" by having him play first is showing. As FanGraphs states: "Cantu has ranked at the bottom of practically every defensive metric ever invented in every single season he¹s played. It isn¹t just a numbers thing, either - scouts and managers alike cringe every time a ball is hit his direction. By most accounts, Cantu costs his team something like 20 to 25 runs a season versus an average defender over a full season."
