Author argues that, "Ron Santo was a better
player than half the third basemen already in the
Hall of Fame. He was the best third baseman of his era, and he was one of the five best position players."
Supposedly, the Pirates wouldn’t trade Nate McLouth for
Robinson Cano. I thought it was hilarious. this guy
comes out of nowhere and puts up one good year and now he is amazing? The numbers he put up aren’t even that great.

According to Ken Rosenthal , "virtually every club
with a need at the position has expressed interest."
He also had this to say that the Yankees do expect him to have a much better 2009, and thought Cano "tried to hard this season to justify his new four-year, $30 million contract." He's still a ...

Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano 's name comes
up often in MLBTR chats and comment threads. Ken
Rosenthal confirmed multiple clubs have expressed interest in Cano, and the Yankees will probably seek starting pitching in return (though a ...
According to this article on Baseball Prospectus (membership
required), the Yankees are "backing off the idea of
signing Brewers left-hander CC Sabathia." Maybe those rumors about Sabathia not wanting to play in New York and the AL were true after all. The article also states that the Yankees ...
Now that the fantasy season is just about
over, it's time to hand out the 2008 awards.
Let's start with Least Valuable Players and later this week, I'll hand out the MVPs.
Let's talk Yankees. Tyler Kepner of the New
York Times says first priority for the Yankees is
to re-sign Brian Cashman. I imagine they already have a Plan B in place, but recent reports lean toward Cashman returning. Kepner says the ...

Mike Mussina started for the Yanks tonight and
pitched five scoreless innings to pick up his 19th
win of the season. He allowed four hits, struck out six, and didn't walk a batter. And would have stayed in the game, but he was hit on the elbow by a line drive in the 3rd, and it starting to bother...

The movie would have been different. As the
clock neared midnight for the life of Yankee Stadium,
something within the Yankees would have clicked. It would have started with something small—a Brett Gardner walk-off single, or the benching of Robinson Cano for lackadaisical play...

For the third time in as many starts
Alfredo Aceves pitched very well. Yesterday he went six
innings without allowing a run, scattered five hits, walked three, and struck out three. He's been very impressive since being called up from the minors. In 26 innings he's allowed 4 runs on 20 hits, wal....

The 2009 Yankees have a lot more questions
than who will be in their rotation when they

From Johnette Howard : It's too early to
say Joe Girardi will not be the manager the
Yankees thought they hired, but this hasn't been said enough: Girardi has not had a good year. If you haven't noticed, Torre's Dodgers have been on a 12-2 September tear that's vaulted ...
Two days before Yankees Manager Joe Girardi pulled
Robinson Cano from a game for not hustling after
a deflected grounder, I asked Derek Jeter how much blame Girardi deserved for Cano's regression as a player. Jeter said that managers get blamed for ...
The Yankees won again as Robinson Cano sat.
Cano entered the game in the eighth inning. That
could be a sign that he has emerged from casa de bow wow. Jorge Posada thinks Joba Chamberlain should start. Joba respectfully disagrees. This notebook ...
Robinson Cano was in an unusual position as
last night's game at Yankee Stadium began, watching from
a seat in the dugout rather than second base. Joe Girardi, whose touch with young players this season has epitomized the Hollies' 1967 single, "King ...
After watching a lackluster performance by Robinson Canó
on Sunday, Joe Girardi yanked him from the game
and gave his bench a stern warning. >
Joe Girardi had sent the message already when
he yanked Robinson Cano out of the game on
Sunday. So when he benched Cano Monday night as well, Girardi was making it clear this was punishment for more than just one crime.
In May 1999, after a dispiriting loss to
the Angels at home, the Yankees called a players-only
meeting.
Robinson Cano had a great view of the
action last night. Too bad it was from the
front row of Joe Girardi's doghouse. Just to ensure Cano understood that dogging it isn't acceptable, Girardi benched the underachieving second baseman, a day after...
NOTEBOOK NEW YORK -- Joe Girardi wants to
make sure Robinson Cano gets the message. That's why
the second baseman was absent from the starting lineup Monday night, one day after Girardi benched him for failing to chase after an...
Better late than never. After sleepwalking through pretty
much this entire year, Robinson Cano finally faced some
repercussions for his lackadaisical play. Joe Girardi pulled him out of the game today after Cano showed his usual lack of hustle in the ...
Finally, after 149 games, Girardi disciplines Cano. From
Peter Abraham : Joe Girardi pulled Robinson Cano out
of the game today in the fifth inning after his latest half-speed effort in the field. “Your job is to play hard,” said Girardi, who indicated that Cano might not be in the lineup ...
Joe Girardi finally had enough of Robinson Cano's
I'm-too-cool-to-get-my-uniform-dirty approach and benched him after he failed to
hustle yesterday.
WHEN Derek Jeter was asked about Robinson Cano
getting pulled because of a lack of hustle in
the fourth inning of the Yankees' 8-4 win over the Rays yesterday, his only comment was: "I'm sure it won't happen again." With all due respect to the...
