This is a bad hockey team.
Those stats don't cover speed and defense. Two areas where Gardner holds a substantial advantage.
Yeah that was ridiculous. Either Cano was brainwashed by his guys that he was worth that much or maybe he really thinks he was worth it, either way it was way too much for him. And like you said, he said nothing about Seattle or winning a world series on his new team or anything.
Try to find the interview on youtube, its probably there. It was the worst interview ever. Joe and Evan had Ellsbury on today and he sounded happy to be on a new team, Cano just sounds bitter.You got the money, shut up now. Its like his time with the Yankees didnt mean anything

Ellsbury and Gardner are very similar players but you're looking at Ellsbury's numbers as a lefty hitting in Fenway as opposed to a lefty hitting in YS. It's possibly Jacoby can double his power numbers as a Yankee and he plays better defense. He also stole 28 more bases. He might not be a HUGE upgrade over Gardner but he's an upgrade nonetheless. He does everything that Gardner does but slightly better.
If it were up to me, I'd like to see Gardner leading off in front of Ellsbury.

Can totally see Sandy unloading Colon for some sort of top prospect if he continues to pitch the way he did last year.

What does being a storied franchise have to do with anything?
Saying he feels disrespected is stupid, but Yanks fans acting like they have is just as nuts. Just because he played for the Yankees doesn't mean he's not justified to ask for as much as he thinks he's worth. Obviously someone thought he was worth it.
He wasnt worth it, still isnt. A desperate loser team like Seattle handing him that money doesnt prove anything, it shows they were desperate.

Uh... what? Your response had nothing to do with what he said. You may not think he's worth the money. Cano had every right to ask for the money he got and more power to him for landing that contract. $240 million is $240 million, no matter who's signing the checks.

He's got a ring. He's on track to get into the Hall of Fame. He wanted to cash in. It's his right. Yankee fans really don't have the right to be bitter about this. It's the first time one of your stars got taken by somebody else throwing a ton of money at him. Do you have any idea how many times the Yankees have bought off somebody else's star? Too many times to count.
I'm not bitter, i could care less Cano left. In his interview, he says the Yankees disrespected him and all this crap, how? Then he says its not about the money, THEN says he wanted a contract to retire on, so it IS about the money? He is classless and if you just got into baseball you wouldnt even think Cano was a Yankee for almost 10 years, its all about him.

I agree, it was entirely about the money. I just think Yanks fans acting like he was stupid to go for the money doesn't make sense.
Well yeah, of course go for the money but dont lie and try to make the yankees look like the bad guy when asked about it and thats what Cano did. Disrespected?

Money=Respect for these guys
The Yankees played hardball with him and then gave Ellsbury almost as much money as they were offering him. He took it as a slight.

I don't know. I think he might shy away from moves like that for p.r. reasons. It's hard to send the message that the Mets are trying to win now if he ships off one of his free agent pickups at the deadline for a prospect. I'm not saying I agree with that thinking, but that might be part of their process going forward.

He'd be silly not to. Colon isn't part of the future. Hope he tears it up for you guys and you get a top prospect for him (think Beltran trade).

Two things about Cano:
1) Nobody went to Yankees games to see Robinson Cano. Baseball fans are the smartest out of the four major sports. They never liked or were drawn to guys who are nonchalant. Cano could hit .400 with 50 HR every year and it still wouldnt make a difference. Ask any Yankees fan -- MVP voting or not, he was never a leader. He was an add-on. People went to see Don Mattingly win or lose. I'd be shocked if there was a Yankeed fan over 16 years old who told somebody "Hey, let's go to a Yankee game. I just want to see Cano play"
2) Cano has NO October legacy. Nothing. None. Zilch. The 2009 title was ALL A-Rod. His legacy as a Yankee will ALWAYS be 2009, ans some Yankees fans (not me) are willing to overlook the other nine failed seasons/postseasons simply because of 2009.
Again, the guy is an immense talent. But he's also a turd. He was Manny Ramirez lite without the postseason clutch, which is kind of a big thing.
