How the frick have expectations tempered for Cano? He is a MVP candidate year in and out. Arguably a top 5 player in baseball.


I guess I mean expectations by Yankee standards. The feeling when he first started to emerge was that he could be the next Jeter-type player - a legend. He is definitely solid year in and year out and I agree with your assessment. I guess I meant that he is not "legendary" just quite yet.

Well, he is the best player on the Yankees by a good bit.

I honestly do not how much better you want him to get. He has been an absolute stud since he entered his peak at age 26. He has played at least 159 games every year since 2007.

In the last four seasons, he has hit at least:

25 HR
.302 BA
.871 OPS
103 R
85 RBI
121 OPS+
.349 OBP
.520 SLG

These numbers represent the WORST he has done in each of these stats since 2009. He is doing this while playing second base. He is far and away the best second bagger in the league. Honestly, I think he will make the Hall of Fame.
