—
Yankees 2B Robinson Cano has been credited with having a very productive season—currently on pace for 28 HR, 99 RBI, 108 R, 200 hits, and a .300 batting average.   The problem, however, is that many fans are overlooking the stark differences in Cano’s performance in the heart of a clutch situation.   Time and time again, the talented young slugger will roll over an outside pitch—resulting in a double play or feeble groundout.   The biggest moments seem to ...
