Florida Marlins Home Runs: 5 |
| Player Rep: Jorge Cantu |
 The Florida Marlins added Jorge Cantu to the active roster on March 27, 2008. Cantu made a huge impression on the Marlins during spring training and he was named the team’s starting third baseman. On September 12, 2008, Cantu hit his 25th home run of the season. Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla, and Mike Jacobs, and Cantu were the first group of infielders on the same team to have 25 or more home runs. Cantu finished the 2008 season with a career-high 29 home runs, 95 RBI, and a .277 batting average.
With Cantu’s impressive play during the 2008 season, the Marlins signed him to a 1-year contract extension and announced that they would shift him to first base.
