2012 Robinson Cano performance thread

[89FoxBody]

He really wants 100 RBI.

[1936-1939JoeNLou]

Have not seen a hitter this hot in a long time.

[Yankee Fan in Boston]

He really wants 100 RBI.

In this game

I don't feel like busting out the calculator to figure it out what it'd be after tonight's 2 homer performance but he's going to finish the season with somewhere around a .920 OPS. Wow.

Now with a .850 career OPS. He's still in his 20s but those sort of numbers as a 2B get you enshrined upstate.

He's been on a HoF-caliber pace for a few seasons now.

Every now and then I'll come on here and read someone's post about letting Cano walk when he becomes a free agent.

This guy is special...this guy is a keeper....his slumps aren't nearly bad enough to override that sweet, sweet swing, that slick fielding, that strong, strong arm, and that grin.......

IMO they'll be making a big mistake if they let him walk......

[EvilEmpireDC]

When he gives a damn and is playing his hardest, few can touch him defensively or offensively

[Sam18]

My favorite thing about Cano will always will be the fact that he came up in 05' when our farm system was rated as being one of the worst in the majors.

[NelsonMuntz]

Beast mode.

[flymick24]

aside from being the best hitter on our team, he's also the best looking, which helps me to explain why i get an erection every time i see him play

I disagree, Russel Martin.

[Jax Teller]

I bought Sam a Russell Martin life size cutout for his birthday.

He sent......video....

[flymick24]

I disagree, Russel Martin.

not a fan of the light complexion/pubic hair on his head look... cano's chocolate mocha skin at least makes his brillo head bearable

i will give martin credit for knowing french though... i could think of a few ways that would come in handy

You weren't one of those that wanted him traded in 2008 after being pulled from the lineup for lack of hustle.

How often doesn't he??

Please, Ibanez has them both beat.

[teknetic]

Wrong.

[Sam18]

Wrong.

How gay are you?

[teknetic]

I have my days.

[enozlac]

Cano better not be hitting anywhere below 4th!

[Carsten Charles]

So is Jeter still the MVP of the team?

[snapple]

Robbie put on a fking clininc last night. Holy cow.

[35Knucklecurve]

I almost wish they didn't have to wait until Sunday to play the next game. I need a break but Cano doesn't. He is unconscious at the plate right now.

[THEBOSS84]

He set career highs in all the SABR categories: fWAR, bWAR, wRC+, wOBA

Not trying to knock him, but it's nearly impossible to bat .313 with 82 XBH out of the 4-hole and not crack 100 RBIs...while playing 161 games.

Except when the guys hitting 2 & 3 have career high HR numbers thus leaving you with empty bases.

Who are you referring to besides Granderson?

Also, I wonder if what I said is a legit stat (I just tweeted Jayson Stark to ask). Has there ever been a player bat above .310 with 80+ XBH and not drive in 100 runs?
