i like Pedey but Cano turns way more DPs and has better range and is a better hitter, its close, because Pedey is a leader and a warrior but, if Theo could make that trade he'd do it.

Is better at turning DP or turns more of them which doesnt mean he's better at turning a DP?

You should quit now, I am a Yankee fan and I would take Cano, but you can't make these arguments here without facts. You will have a hard time finding any defensive stats that show Cano to be the better fielder.

The "leader and warrior" bullshit is stupid. I am sure his leadership has lead the Red Sox to many wins in the month of September. Maybe he needs calm eyes like Jeter.

Don't make me suspend people on this happy afternoon for all of us.

[mikepelfrey]

I agree - they're very close. As are Teixeria/Gonzalez, Lester/Sabathia, and Granderson/Ellsbury. It makes for some really fun discussion, generally-speaking.

true but of the 4 Tex vs Adrian isnt close, Gonzo is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better, i call em as i see em

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD TODAY?!?

WE HAVE YANKEE FANS AND RED SOX FANS HOLDING HANDS AND SINGING HYMNALS TOGETHER

STOP TRYING TO RUIN EVERYTHING

look at dp's and range factor yes, Cano makes more errors, but he averages way more DPs because he gets to more balls, since jeter has no range, Cano is better, not fighting just being unbiased

nobody said he's a floor sweeper, and im not fighting anyone, im just giving an opinion based on statistical compariosons,

is it illegal do do that on Sosh now?

we know your not fighting - sox fans are just a bit giddy right now- its good

Ah, a sacrifice for the main board GT.

Of course not, but you're doing a truly awful job, and I asked you to stop about a page back. If you want to start a Cano/Pedroia comparison thread in the main Yankee section, I guess you can do that, but probably you should leave it to people with a better grasp of baseball than you.

And why the hell is your user name mikepelfrey?

Nice job by Girardi piecing together 6.1 scoreless from 7 relievers without using Robertson or Soriano. Combined line of:

6.1 5 0 0 1 8

If you're a Rays fan, this is adding insult to injury....breaks my heart.

[jon abbey]

Game 2 lineup, A-Rod and Jeter sit:

Brett Gardner LF
Curtis Granderson CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Robinson Cano 2B
Jesus Montero DH
Eric Chavez 3B
Russell Martin C
Chris Dickerson RF
Eduardo Nunez SS

[derekson]

Any word on when they expect to get this game in?

[jon abbey]

There's no tarp on the field, but they are in delay.

What I question is why they didn't start CC in the day game, knowing rain was coming at night.

[Shaky]

Doesn't look like anything to be concerned about:

[rembrat]

So CC is broken, huh?

[derekson]

Montero looked pretty amazing there.

[terrynever]

You guys are a little too negative. Over here, we look at the bright side, like the old Monty Python song. Cano homers, Yanks lead 1-0.

Edited by terrynever, 21 September 2011 - 07:45 PM.

[Saby]

Damn, feels weird rooting for CC to get rocked.

[Saby]

Right on cue, HOME RUN! Tied up at 2 now.

[Saby]

A bit unlucky, that was off the pole but anything is good enough for this bullshit offense.

[Saby]

Cano and Granderson still have to be negotiated one more time. TB really need another two runs.

[jon abbey]

Well, this is officially a no-lose situation now.

[Saby]

Great inning by Hellickson. Come on, let's mail in the next game and a bit and then up the ante against the RS in the next series.

[ypioca]

GO YANKS GO

I feel dead inside

[rembrat]

COME ON YOU BUMS

[Saby]

Tampa hitters: Please just take some goddamn pitches and get CC out of the game. Getting CC his 20th is like half the motivation for NY right now.

[Saby]

Arghh, so close to hitting that out.

[Saby]

Nice swing, Jennings.

[ypioca]

Kay is having a ball talking about the Sox.

[Saby]

Not a bad time to tap into some of that unfulfilled potential, BJ.

[Saby]

It always seems as if going down 2-0 to TB hitters never hurts.

[rembrat]

For some reason, Saby is annoying me. Why do you want the Rays to win again?

[Saby]

I'll take it!!!

Runners on first and second, only 1 out. Gotta drive in a run here.

Much rather face Rays in ALCS than RS. Boston scares the shit out of me.

Wait, what? So you're a Yankee fan? And you're rooting for the Rays? Or what, Tigers? Rangers?

[jon abbey]

Um, pitch count, Girardi? Hello? Hello?

[Saby]

Yankees. Much rather face Rays, it's been a scissors-paper-rock situation for a while.

[Saby]

Um, pitch count, Girardi? Hello? Hello?

126 and counting. Ridiculous!

[jon abbey]

PULL HIM. He blew his own chance for the 20th win.

[rembrat]

Robertson better be walking through that door.

[jon abbey]

Robertson better be walking through that door.

You've always loved him.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Robertson has been getting out of bases loaded jams all year. This will be the one time he doesn't.
