Who THE FUCK Are You? Who who, who who?

So right now there are two sports commercials that have "famous athletes" in them, yet I just don't know who they are.

Commercial One: This is a commercial for the WBC. In it are Jeter, A Rod, Ichiro, and someone else. Are four players talk about former teams they've played on like the names of minor league teams and such. And then at the very end they say "Now I play for America" and Ichiro 'says' "Now I play for Japan. And the repeat." Who is the fourth baseball player, the one who says he will play for Mexico?

Commercial Two: This is a commercial for Sobe drinks and originally aired during the Super Bowl. In it are three football players- two black and one white- and they're just dancing around seemingly pretending to be ballerinas. They are against a white back drop and little CGI lizards are dancing around as well. In the end, one of the football's face turns into a lizard. It was speculated that the players where Ray Lewis, Justin Tuck, and Aarom Kampman, but to be honest, it's not 100% sure to me.

Please tell me who these players are!

  3. Rexy, we all know you know who Jorge Cantu is. The jig is up. Even if you didn't know, it's not like you couldn't google him and find out he's a bust prospect from Tampa who had a great year in 2005 and then signed a minor league deal with the Marlins last yr to have yet another breakout season with 29 HRs.

  6. Probably because he hit 29 HR last yr. If he hit one more, everyone in the Marlins infield would have hit 30 HRs last season.

    2005: .286 .311 .497, 28 HR
    2006: 249 .295 .404 , 14 HR
    2007: .252 .331 .357, 1 HR
    2008: .277 .327 .481, 29 HR

  7. Cantu must be going back to Mexico to get some more steroids because that's the only reason I can think of to explain THAT big of spike in his numbers.

  8. Jorge Cantu has the ability to be that good. It's just that he's too inconsistent because he's overly aggressive at the plate. With a BB% of 5.2 career (10+ is ideal) and an unacceptable O-Swing% (% of pitches he swings at outside the strike zone) of 31.5%, he's just prone to extended slumps. The power is for real, with a career ISO of just under .190. However, his peripherals just say "am i really worth the headache?"

  9. I should have noted that his 14 HR season in 2006 was a 2/3rds season that was shortened because of inconsistency and poor performance, while he only accumulated 133 PA's in 2007 because of his .207 BA in tampa
