Roughly a wash, and VORP doesn't factor quality of defense, just the position played. For 2007 VORP that should be Pedroia 33.8, Cano 33.6.

I got numbers on my side, what do you have on yours? A drunken fan boy’s opinion? Cano – .299/.348/.481 Pedroia – .324/.390/.446 And that doesn’t even get into how much better a defensive player Pedroia is OK Worst Troll in Baseball. Lets look at career numbers. Can, who is only 10 months older has logged almost three times as mnay Major League ABs as DPud (1536 to 521). Career OBP/SLG/OPS Cano .344/.487/.831 DPud .368/.422/.784 As far as fielding, data for thsi year: Cano 5.3 Range Factor / .847 Zone Rating DPud 4.8 RF / .837 ZR And lastly, if you just want to focus on this year: 2007 VORP: 33.8, Cano 33.6 (Deosn't factor in Cano's modestly better defensive range). Bzzt! Wrong, but thanks for playing. I also don't think you will find a scout in the game who thinks DPud is going to get any better with his huge hack and no power. So for him, 2007 is as good as it gets but Cano is a legitimate 30 HR threat while hitting for average if he can learn better pitch selection. Best Team In BB

My issue with his is his mouth. He needs to know when to shut it. Especially being a rookie. Pedroia is punching above his weight. My issue with his is his mouth. He needs to know when to shut it.

He really liked sleeping over at Neverland Ranch as a child. I'd rather have the squirrel at 2B. Pedo, Veritek and Pyouki should go to group therapy together (no offense to anyone who is going) and hug each other. Sorry ... just getting in shape for the upcoming Red Sox series. Another sweep puts us right back in the division race again. Isn't that right, oh queen of optimism? Pedo-roia is a little c#&t. He really liked sleeping over at Neverland Ranch as a child.
