Wednesday’s Bits: Cano, Schedule, Swisher
iYankees (Free subscription) | 11/26/2008
1. According to Kevin Long, Robinson Cano is working hard this winter, as he preps for the 2009 season. If Cano can be in peak physical shape for the beginning of the year, I think we can all expect good things. Honestly, judging from his poor first half trend, I’d say the workout regimen has [...]

Yanks need a few bounceback years
River Ave. Blues (Free subscription) | 11/26/2008
Looking at the current projection of the Yanks 2009 starting lineup, things are looking a bit iffy. In order for the team to succeed, they’re going to need bounceback performances from a number of guys whose production dropped off in 2008. This means Jorge Posada, Hideki Matsui, Robinson Cano, and Nick Swisher. Because I’m sick [...]

Via George King - While they wait for CC Sabathia to decide if $140 million is worth the headaches created by the spotlight that always scorches the Yankees, the club is jazzed about Robinson Cano’s new body. “I was as impressed with what he looks like as I have ever been in my whole life,” hitting [...]

Thinking About Robbie Cano
Pinstripe Alley (Free subscription) | 11/25/2008
An article by Tyler Kepner in the Times got me thinking about Robinson Cano. Canó also made an important mechanical adjustment, scrapping the open stance he had lapsed into and reducing the movement before his swing. Long said he knew the swing would be in order when he visited Canó for six days during the week of Nov. 9, but he had no idea Canó would be in such good shape. “He’s got a personal trainer,...

Orlando Hudson Makes Some Sense
Pinstripe Alley (Free subscription) | 11/20/2008
Jon Heyman says that the Yankees are considering free agent 2B Orlando Hudson. The Yankees might have to consider some rejiggering as well, since they currently have the talented Robinson Cano at second base. While they could consider moving Cano to first base, the more likely scenario would be to trade Cano, either for a centerfielder (how about David DeJesus, who may be expendable now that the Royals...

Pedroia Wins MVP
iYankees (Free subscription) | 11/18/2008
He deserved it, too (him or Youkilis). That’s the worst part. This is why the Yankees are going to spend money. To Yankee fans, this is embarrassing. In a year that had Robinson Cano looking like a minor leaguer, his Red Sox counterpart takes home MVP honors. That’s tough. While I [...]

Set in stone: Left side of the infield
River Ave. Blues (Free subscription) | 11/10/2008
If you take a look at the Yankees roster and then read through all the rumors that have surfaced this off-season, you might come to realize that nearly no position is set in stone. They’ll seek a new first baseman; Robinson Cano could be traded; the outfield is anything but set; Jorge Posada might not [...]
