Cano Walks Four Times!

Wow, in his 9th big league season, Robinson Cano, for the first time, walked four times.   He's been doing a little better with his plate discipline over the past few years, but the only reason he hasn't won a batting title in thus far has been his lack of walks.  In fact, that's the only thing that keeps him from being discussed with the greatest of the great 2B's.     He doesn't steal bases, either, but unless you're doing that at 80% you shouldn't be trying it.  Though he did steal one today, he needs to only try when he knows he can.  Like Reggie used to.  It would be good if he started walking more, though, I believe he will probably make the HoF either way.

In other good news, David Adams took his first two major league walks today.   Adams was a sophisticated college bat when we got him, and it's good to see him settling down and playing his game, that has included walks in the past.

Finally, Zoilo had another nice game including a two run single, and an RBI walk.   If he keeps walking, he can be a Major League Regular, and that would really help the Yanks.   So, go Z!

Just goes to show that Robbie has not gotten anything good to hit this year. With the current lineup (Alberto Gonzalez replacing Reid Briniac to get a better hitter on the team???) Robbie is the 1 guy opposing teams can't let beat them.
