His dealer wouldn't let him.

$13 million can buy a hell of a lot more pot than $8 or $9 million.

Thanks for taking some of your precious time to point that out. How about a contribution? Seeing as you're a comedic evaluator, i figured you could add something. For the record, Jacko said nothing wrong for once. He still gives squirrel-AIDS though.

Am I the only one a bit nervous about John Lackey?

Hence the "When taking games played into account". All things being equal, Youk would have probably been more productive. -

Every player in the history of ever has question marks. Sox don't sign the big guys, fans bitch, Sox sign the big guys, fans come up with a bunch of retarded concerns. The FO did their homework, and again, every player has question marks. -
Pedroia could beat him in a footrace. For some reason, Cano has a real good first step, but he doesn't gain much more speed after.

I love this guy.

Cano improved across the board defensively last year, but until they can fix his footwork (he made great strides in that department last year) he'll be on the lower half of MLB 2B at turning the DP. His quick release is not enough if he doesn't get his whole body into starting the process. I'll keep saying this, because if you want to be objective, you can scout objectively. Cano has a rocket arm, and a lot of range. He's just an airhead.

You could have read the post, and also answered my question. Whatever either way.

Cano f***s up his footwork regularly. He's not good at turning DP's.

The stats can't tell you how strong a player's arm is, how much terrain he covers, how much power does he generate with his swing, or how accurate are his throws. I'm going to ask you a question: Subjectively, who do you think has better "tools", Mark Teixeira or Kevin Youkilis?

Easy on UZR there, partners.

First off, you've been trying to sneak in Cano's 2008 into the discussion, which is intellectually dishonest, because it was a fluke when looking at Cano's career sample size, his BABIP (.286) is an indication of this. Why not use his whole career as a benchmark? Second off, you've been trying to establish the term "Range" as part of UZR in a manner not pertaining to the discussion to try and minimize Cano's ability. Not only that, it's quite simple. Statistically, Cano is the more dangerous hitter. By "range" (or ability to cover range in itself) he's also better than Pedroia. There's a reason why even the Sox' FO still relies in scouting and not just stats, you need a combination of both to have a thorough understanding of a player's abilities, and trying to establish intellectual superiority because you can go to Fangraphs (just like i can) is an exercise in futility. Besides that, WMP had no talent. Really?

IsoP. All i have to say about that.

Not what i meant. What i meant was that "Range" is a subjective term when it comes to UZR. The fact that a player converts more batted balls hit into their zone into outs doesn't mean they have more actual "range". Range is a player's ability to cover terrain in their assigned spot, but when turning "range" into the ability to convert outs, good positioning, as well as an accurate arm (in an IF's case) matter as much as the actual mobility of the player, which is what "Range" by definition, is. Anyways, i'm done here. You know more than everyone else.
