Cano Situation.

[Bivory]

I wish some would stop trying to play GM and to just sit back and enjoy the best player on the Yankees. Here's a bit of news for you guys. Al the best players are overpaid and there's no better place for winning, than the Yankees, so why would he WANT to go somewhere else?

I mean, what freakin Cano situation are we talking about here? He'll want to leave due to age of others, or payroll? Come on man

I've read/heard that Adams will be ready by 2014. So signing Youkilis for 1 year has no effect on Adams at all. And Adams wouldnt be playing 3B, he would be replacing Cano.

Until Cashman unloads him for Brandon Webb.

This made me laugh.

There is no doubt of 2 things with Robbie... He will play next season with the highest bidder and I can prove that. He also will not talk contract extention until next offseason... I am sure you want proof of that too... well, the answer to prove both is the same...

Who is the agent that represents Robbie? Scott Boras.

SB has two traits. 1. Never negotiate a contract until you are a UFA if you can get away with it. 2. To the winner go the spoils.

So Robbie will not be reworking his current contract and he won't be coming back on a discount, as SB does not do either.

Cashman would get hung up on about 1 second after he finished saying that..

Your probably right but if the conversation gets started maybe we can throw in Nova and/or Phelps.

[marciano42]

why would the reds create a hole in the rotation to slightly upgrade a position they are already fine at?

Because they would get the best 2b in baseball, the Yankees would have to throw in Nova or Phelps or both.

cano is not so much better where its worth giving up a fornt line starter to file a postion they are already fine at with phillips. they have no incentive to make that deal, especially considering cano is a free agent at years end and will require a massive contract. thats a huge step down in the rotation for a minimal upgrade at 2nd

Cano is my favorite Yankee but i am 100 % ok with trading him and stocking up the farm. I am honestly getting annoyed with the Yankees. Its like they want to rebuild but they refuse to go into rebuild mode. I would be ok with tearing apart the roster and being to bring up guys like Sanchez, Williams and Austin and just give these guys a chance.

[LAcowBOMBER]

he hasn't been MUCH better, 2011 Wright was hurt, but the other 3 years are pretty close

Take into account Cano plays in a hitters paradise while Wright the exact opposite. Then take into account the protection Cano has had and again the exact opposite for Wright.

Cano's WAR since 09 - 4.1, 7.8, 5.2, 8.2

Wright's WAR since 09 - 2.9, 2.5, 1.9, 6.7

Not that close. Cano clearly deserves more money and has been injury free

Trade Cano, Granderson, and Hughes to the Dodgers for Kemp, Jansen, and Gordon. The Dodgers are the one team that would resign all three players. The yankees should then sign A.J., Hamilton, and Hairston. I would not sign Ichiro or Youklis. They want too much money.

Yankee Lineup
Gardner CF
Jeter SS
Hamilton LF
Kemp RF
Tex 1B
Hairston DH
A.J. C
Nunez 3B
Adams or Gordon 2B

so because they made msitakes with those guys, they should willing make the mistaker again because cano said so?


the problem is not that they don;'t wnat to give cano that contract now, its that they did give them to tex, arod, aj etc.

They have themselves to blame for those contracts.

120 in his and boras mind is a home town discount

It is when you think about it.

Why would the Dodgers trade Kemp?
