Marlins Considering Helms, Cantu
MLB.com's Jim Molony reports that the Marlins are considering Wes Helms and Jorge Cantu as candidates for their now-vacant third base job.
Helms had a career year in 2006 for the Marlins, hitting .329/.390/.575 while seeing a disproportionate amount of southpaws. The Phils then wishcasted him as a starter and gave him two years and $5.45MM. Helms has $2.15MM left on his contract plus a $750K buyout.
Cantu was recently cut by the Reds; his claim to fame is driving in 117 runs for the 2005 Devil Rays. He turns 26 in January; perhaps his career can be revived in Florida.

Please, please, please take Helms, Florida. You already gave up two of your best players. So, it's not like Helms could make you any worse. Maybe he'll have another banner year for you.

Does this mean I'm safe with Hanley Ramirez as my fantasy SS for the next few years. Need him to start 20 games at SS in 2009.

I think Helms would actually be among the Marlins' top 2-3 highest paid players if they traded for him. Unbelievable
