If you compare his numbers to the numbers of Alfonso Soriano prior to this season they are a lot a like. Cantu actually put up better numbers in his first full season(2005) versus Soriano's first full season (2001). Takes very few walks, similar HR numbers, similar slg%, strikes out a little less, but has a bit lower obp. He is still just 24 years old. The question is if it is ultimately an upgrade from Cedeno/Theriot/Neifi.
