  1. Roberts vs. Cano

    in Useless Blabber

    Posted

    sooooo....here we are at the end of the year and Cano is being benched for lack of hustle along with being an inferior player compared to Roberts as well as Kinsler and Pedroia

    He's proved he wasn't as good the last two years even though he was doing better at the pretty home run and rbi categories that had half this board convinced otherwise, and he isn't helping his cause at all this year. He's shown he truly is nothing more then a little better then mediocre 2Ber

    Point has been proven by the play on the field

    LOL...

    So one bad year determines a career, huh?? I really wish I had your insight, especially when the debate was Jeter vs Nomar? :funny: I will grant you that as of now Pedroia is a better player, especially with his likely MVP award coming. However, like I said before, Cano's 2 best seasons are better than any season Roberts & Kinsler have ever had... As bad of a year as Cano has had (along with every position player on the Yankees for that matter), you simply can't dispute that...

    Have fun in the playoffs...

    I'm not gonna keep going on this since you're both beating dead horses....if Cano was as good a hitter as you both say he is, he'd be hitting at the top of the lineup regardless of the team. The reason both Torre and Girardi bury him at the bottom is because he can't handle the top of the lineup. If two coaches won't give him a shot in a lineup, does that tell you maybe he ain't all that?

    Cano is not the best second baseman in the American League. He's not top 3. End of story

    :funny:

    If you say so Jon...

    Like I said earlier, Cano isn't fast and he doesn't take walks so putting him at the top of a line-up is just bad baseball. Damon & Jeter are ideal 1 & 2 guys. After that you have Abreu, A-Rod, & Giambi who are all .400 on base guys when they're right. So tell me why would you put Cano in any of those slots? Like jtk4 said, his value is lower in the order. How many players can hit .300 / 20hr / 100 rbi's in the 9 hole? If you gonna say the Yankees line-up is/was stacked, well so are the Red Sox, Tigers, & Rangers... How come their 9 hole guys can't do that?

    "No range" Cano 1 for 1 off Beckett and started a sparkling dp in the 2nd... I know you saw that Jonny boy... ;)

    On Pedroia: You guys all touted Cano as the best second baseman in the american league after two years.....

    On Kinsler: Cano has been hitting in the best lineup in baseball the past four years....the only reason they aren't as potent this year is because of injuries (and maybe age)

    And both are young as well.....

    Bad points on Kinsler and Pedroia.....lets stick to Roberts since you have an outside shot on making a case for Cano there

    On Kinsler: Kinsler bats leadoff and gets protected by guys like Young, Bradley, & Hamilton. Cano gets protected (if you can call it that) by Melky, Molina, & Gardner... On past teams he batted 8th or 9th so it's not the same comparison... Put Cano in front of Jeter, Abreu, & A-Rod and his numbers would be off the charts. Cano just doesn't walk enough and doesn't have the speed so it's a bad fit...

    On Pedroia: And your putting him there after barely 1.5 yrs... You should know better than to annoint players in the middle of seasons. You saw what happened when you praised Roberts & dismissed Cano last May and how did that end up? You still didn't address how Pedroia has benefited from hitting in front of argueably one of the greatest hitting duos of all time...

    Pedroia is a stud and is only 5'5", I will take him on my team over roberts and cano.

    If I wanted to compare Cano to someone, Pedroia would be it... I still would like to him play at this level a bit more, but he is a solid, solid, player...

    Should be a fun decade watching these two...

    Kinsler? Besides a good half season, what exactly has Kinsler done to be a part of this conversation?? The fact that he hits leadoff in a bandbox with the best offense in baseball behind him inflates his status a tad...

    Pedroia? While he's a quality player, I think we need more than a 1.5 yr sample size before we bring him into any "best of" discussions... Besides wouldn't be fair to say that some of his production is due to hitting in front of Manny & Papi (when he's healthy)?

    Bottom line is that Cano's two best years are better than any single year Kinsler, Pedroia, or Roberts had had in the big leagues. The amazing part about it is that he seems to give those other guys a three month start on compiling stats each year. Yet at the end of the year he pulls it together (in the stretch run when his team needs him the most) and makes it looks easy. If he ever started a season off hot like Roberts does, this wouldn't even be a debate...

    Basically the only knocks you got on him are that he doesn't walk (which leads to a lower obp & ops), and he doesn't steal bases... As he matures (he's still only 25), he'll learn to be more selective....

    Just asking.......

    LOL...

    You always bring this up mid-season when your boy jumps out to an early lead... Like last year when he had a .080 lead in batting average that he somehow managed to lose in the second half. I think it's safe to say that Roberts is a fast starter while Cano is a strong finisher. Lets see how they finish the season before we jump to any conclusions... ;)
