Newsbreakers

September 29, 2009

Robinson Cano hit a solo shot off of Dice-K in the 6th inning Saturday that proved to be the game winner, as the Yanks downed the Red Sox 3-0.

Our View:

Cano now has 24 jacks on the season. Add that to his .321 average and 80 RBI, and he is once again an elite fantasy second baseman. Staying hot down the stretch has helped (.348 September average).

September 23, 2009

August 28, 2009

Robinson Cano blasted a three-run walk-off winner on Friday night to give the Yankees a 5-2 victory over the White Sox. It was his only hit in five trips.

Our View:

Cano's flair for the dramatic on Friday overshadows what a solid month he's having. He's hitting almost .340 with five homers, 12 RBI and 16 runs scored in August.

August 25, 2009

Robinson Cano went 2-for-5 with three RBI in tonight's 10-9 loss to Texas at Yankee Stadium. He hit a single and a solo homer off Kevin Millwood.

August 12, 2009

Robinson Cano delivered two big hits for the Yankees on Wednesday. He ripped his 18th homer in the fourth and singled home the game winning run on the 11th for a 4-3 walk-off winner against the Blue Jays.

Our View:

Cano has 18 bombs on the season and now has registered eight multi-hit games this month. He's red hot and a big reason why the Yankees have won ten of 11.

July 21, 2009

Robinson Cano went 2-for-3 with two RBI in tonight's 6-4 win over Baltimore at Yankee Stadium. He hit a single and a two-run homer off Rich Hill.

Our View:

Cano broke out of his mini-slump after only mustering one hit over his previous three games (nine at-bats). He ended a 13-game drought without a homer as well, and now has 14 for the season.

July 4, 2009

Robinson Cano had one of the worst games of his career on Saturday, going 0-for-6 while stranding ten runners, but the Yankees still beat the Blue Jays 6-5 in 12 innings.

Our View:

Cano has been a streaky hitter for most of his career, and these kind of low lows should be expected with his high highs. Plug him into your starting lineup and hope for the best.

July 2, 2009

Robinson Cano went 3-for-3 with two runs scored in tonight's 8-4 loss to the Mariners at Yankee Stadium. He hit a double and two singles.

June 26, 2009

Robinson Cano was held out of Thursday's lineup while nursing a sore left wrist, according to the Journal News.

Our View:

Skipper Joe Girardi noted that Cano's wrist has been bothering him over the last couple of weeks, and is considered day-to-day. Cody Ransom replaced him at second base Thursday.

June 18, 2009

Robinson Cano went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Nationals at Yankee Stadium.

Our View:

The Yankees only mustered seven hits in the game. Cano raised his team-leading batting average to .311, and has a hit in four straight games.

June 16, 2009

Robinson Cano led the Yankees in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Nationals, as he went 4-for-4 with two RBI. He had a double and three singles.

Our View:

June 14, 2009

Robinson Cano was 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored as the Yankees defeated the Mets 15-0 on Sunday.

Our View:

Cano continues to have a strong season for the Yankees. If he maintains his current hitting pace, he'll finish with 100 RBI and 111 runs scored while hitting .298. He's traditionally been a much better second half player, but it will be hard to outshine his numbers from his first half should he keep this up.

June 9, 2009

Robinson Cano went 1-for-4 with a single in Tuesday's 7-0 loss at Boston.

Our View:

The Yankees only mustered two hits in the game. Cano is hitting exactly .300 and has a hit in five of eight games so far in June.

May 30, 2009

Robinson Cano went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-5 win at Cleveland. All three of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

Cano extended his hitting streak to seven games, with 12 total hits and six RBI over the span. He remains among the most productive fantasy second basemen.

May 21, 2009

Robinson Cano ripped Oriole pitching to shreds on Thursday. He was 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in the Yankees' 7-4 win.

Our View:

Cano has had a huge bounce back campaign in 2009. He's hitting .317 with eight homers and 25 RBI and looks like one of the stronger fantasy second base plays in the majors.

May 20, 2009

Robinson Cano had a huge night on Wednesday as the Yankees beat the Orioles 11-4. Cano went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in the game.

Our View:

Cano has been quiet lately after starting the season on fire, but he looked excellent at the plate tonight. He is still a very good hitter, so expect him to be a solid fantasy contributor for the rest of the year.

April 30, 2009

Robinson Cano is riding a 16-game hitting streak, according to the Journal News. He has four doubles, four homers and 13 RBI over the span.

Our View:

He will try to keep the streak alive tonight against the Angels at Yankee Stadium. Cano is only hitting .248 over 137 career at-bats against the Angels.

April 26, 2009

Robinson Cano was 2-for-4 on Sunday in the Yankees' 4-1 loss to the hated Red Sox. Cano raised his average to .373, but the Yanks were swept in three games at Fenway.

Our View:

Cano has the hottest bat in the Yankee lineup and is doing his very best A-Rod impersonation while the trillion dollar third baseman is on the mend. He has five homers and 15 RBI to go with his .373 average.

April 25, 2009

Robinson Cano cranked out two home runs and picked up five RBI on a 3-for-6 day that saw the Yankees fall 16-11 to the Red Sox.

Our View:

Cano, who is known to start off his seasons very slowly, is hitting .366 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored.

April 15, 2009

Robinson Cano was 2-for-4 Wednesday and stroked his second home run of the season in the Yankees' 4-3 win over the Rays. The blast was a two-run shot.

Our View:

Cano is off to a fine start after having a disappointing fantasy season in 2008. He's currently hitting .382 with two double, two homers and six RBI in nine games.

March 29, 2009

Robinson Cano was 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI Sunday against the Pirates.

Our View:

Cano is a reliable fielder and one of the more dangerous second basemen in the league at the plate. We'd like to see the .271 average and 26 walks come up a bit, but he did manage to temper those numbers a bit by posting a solid at-bat-to-strikeout ratio of 9.1:1 in 2008.

March 22, 2009

Robinson Cano appeared as the Yankees DH again on Sunday as they fell to the Rays. He finished the game 2-for-3 and is now hitting .429 this spring through 28 at-bats.

Our View:

Cano has dealt with a sore shoulder this spring, but it only really affects him when he's throwing. He should be ready for opening day, but the threat of this becoming a more nagging injury remains.

March 18, 2009

Robinson Cano went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's contest and helped the Yankees to a 4-1 win over the Astros.

Our View:

It appears the bun shoulder didn't affect Cano's swing. He DH-ed Wednesday, but still showed off the hot stick and raised his average to .474. He should be a top flight fantasy second sacker this season.

March 17, 2009

Robinson Cano, who is dealing with bursitis in the back of his right shoulder, could return to action at second base Friday, according to the NY Daily News. Cano said, "I was a little worried, but I knew in my mind it was not too bad, because I could throw. I feel a little pain, but I will be ready in a few days. There is a little inflammation, but it is not the worst news."

Our View:

This is encouraging news, and Cano should be fine to target as a No. 1 fantasy second baseman.

March 16, 2009

It has been determined that Robinson Cano is dealing with bursitis in the back of his right shoulder, and not tendinitis as was previously believed, according to the NY Post.

Our View:

Cano will take anti-inflammatory medicine and work on building up the strength in his ailing shoulder. It is uncertain how much time Cano will need to miss.

March 14, 2009

Robinson Cano's physical examination on Saturday revealed tendinitis in his right shoulder, according to the Journal News. He is awaiting results from an MRI.

Our View:

This is certainly not good news for the second baseman. There has been no indication yet if he is expected to miss any time, but that seems a reasonable option. He has typically been durable throughout his career, but don't be surprised if this carries over into April. Stay tuned.

March 13, 2009

Robinson Cano is experiencing tightness in his right shoulder and will be examined by a doctor on Saturday. He has been experience the discomfort since the beginning of spring training.

Our View:

Cano had a down year in 2008, but came into camp in great shape and is looking for a bounce back campaign. Assuming this injury isn't serious he should be a quality fantasy option at second.

March 3, 2009

Robinson Cano went 2-for-4 with a walk for Team Dominican Republic in an exhibition against Florida on Tuesday.

Our View:

Coming off a disappointing 2008 campaign, Cano apparently worked extra-hard this offseason and has looked good in spring thus far, going 7-for-13 with one home run and two doubles through five games.

March 1, 2009

Robinson Cano had a big day in the Grapefruit League for the Yankees on Sunday, going 3-for-3 with a home run and a double. He also drove in four while scoring just once.

Our View:

Cano is now hitting .556 for the Yankees this spring. He had a bit of a down year in 2008, so if he can return to form the Yankees could have one of the best lineups in the majors.

January 25, 2009

Robinson Cano will represent the Dominican Republic in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Cano has fared well so far this off-season during winterball, and will be looking to bounce back in 2009 after holding a disappointing .271 batting average and .305 OBP with the Yankees last season. Cano looks to slip in fantasy drafts, but could serve as a solid starting second baseman.

January 18, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals have inquired about Robinson Cano to fill their void at second base. Apparently the Yankees asked for Adam Wainwright in return and the conversation did not last long.

Our View:

Wainwright has developed into a legitimate ace, and Cano is an inconsistent second baseman that has shown flashes of All-Star ability. Talks could be re-visited, but don't expect Wainwright to go anywhere.
