Re: Robbie Cano . . . Don'tcha Know!
Scott, FWIW, you can't state "Chase who" twice in the same thread and then claim that you never meant to compare Cano to Utley...I understand you meant that reference "tongue in cheek," but when you throw it out there like that, and both guys are premier 2B, people are bound to infer that you are making some kind of… -
Re: Robbie Cano . . . Don'tcha Know!
I’m not looking at this from a perspective of who the better player might be today or this season, nor who’s had the better career if both ended their’s today. Ok, in that case, I suppose it is possible that Cano will surpass Utley as the better 2B in the years ahead, but that is sheer speculation at this point, and right… -
Re: Robbie Cano . . . Don'tcha Know!
I was wrong. Cano is the best 2b in the game and probably has been for some time. I think I discounted his talent somewhat just because he was overshadowed (in my mind anyway) because he was surrounded by such legends. I also discounted his value alot becuase of his defense (which still could use some work), but even with… -
Re: Robbie Cano . . . Don'tcha Know!
How is there "no reason to believe" that Utley's numbers may be on the decline in a year or two when other players from this recent era like Alomar and Biggio who were entrenched in the training and conditioning environment didn't have very productive seasons well into their 30s? Alomar is a HOFer (should have been first… -
Re: Robbie Cano . . . Don'tcha Know!
We will see what the future holds...as of right now Cano has quite a bit of ground to make up to surpass Utley as a better 2B, but anything is possible...there are also many examples of players with lots of promise and potential who never realized that ceilling...I remember in the very early '80s when many people thought… -

<< <i> << <i> << <i>have you seen him play? Have you seen anyone in the majors right now that can turn a double play better than Cano? When Yankee hater Joe Morgan even comments about how Cano is one of the best he's seen at turning the double play and that he's amazed by his range, that's gotta count for something. It may… -

<< <i>Scott- If you watch Cano "day in and day out" how do you know he's better than any other 2B in the game? You don't. The truth is that its impossible not to be biased toward your team's guy.

Re: Robbie Cano . . . Don'tcha Know!
as usual, it seems the advanced stats tell a different story. I'll still maintain that he is OK defensively based on the eyeball test..... all I know is he made a nice diving play last night to rob the Sox of a potential huge inning. I'm not up on the latest defensive metrics - so when they count balls "in his zone", is… -
