“Mr. Roboto freakish in his .300/25/100/100 consistency ”

 

“Cano is the best 2B option in Fantasy Baseball for 2013 and many years to come. Soon he will be a 40/120 player and that batting average always remains ELITE. Cano will win a MVP in his career and you would be crazy to let him slip in the 2nd round of any draft.”

“Despite Lincecum having an ERA over 5.00, he still managed 190 Ks in 186 INN. At the discount price he goes, you have to take a chance he bounces back. He was much better in the 2nd half of 2012 which should give you some hope to make the move.”

“Cano doesn't steal a lot of baseas... so, there's that.”

 

“Peripherals are all over the place; Ground balls and line drives have risen for 3 straight years, precipitous decline in FB% last 3 years as well. 3 year decline in Flyball% and a 3 year rise in Home Run per fly ball? WHAT!? That doesnt add up. .239 against lefties last year too, and all those things add up to give Cano a lot more risk this year than some may realize. ”

 

“Robinson Cano is in a positional class by himself at one of the weakest positions this season at second base. One of my concerns is the aging of the New York Yankees, which could limit is overall RBI totals in 2013. Cano has remained healthy over the past 6 seasons and he has average 625 at bats over the past 3 seasons. He contributes in 4 out of 5 hitting categories. I typically like to draft second baseman for speed purposes, but you can make an argument th...”

“My NL comeback player of the year. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”

“You know what to expect from this soon-to-be free agent. He's easily the only second baseman worth taking in the first round. ”
