My statement was meant to compare the talent gap between Pedroia and Cano as similar to Eckstine and ARod in their heydays. I guess that's too difficult for you to comprehend. Pedroia is 24 in his first year. Cano is 24 in his third year. Let's see how consistent Pedroia is as a hitter when pitchers have seen him for three years. Hawk:

Cano has had flashes of being more patient, but most of the time I watch it seems like he makes up his mind whether or not to swing before the pitch is shown. I find him just frustrating most of the time. Pedroia had more walks and a higher OBP this year than Cano has ever had.

I meant Yankee fans be patient with Cano and not be so quick to give up on him. If you read my post above,I Love Cano as a player,I'm willing to wait for his patience at the plate and Melky's too. StandingONeill,

Thank God some of you are just idiots and don’t have any power. John nice of you to call me an idiot, appreciate it buddy. And I never said definitely trade him, but out of all the trade chips the yankees have Cano is the best option, seeing as second base is the easiest position to fill. If you can improve two spots by trading one spot, you consider it. And yes I'm glad I don't have that power, wouldn't want it, tough job.

Eckstine is a gritty, nice player...but This kid ois 24. He's still learning 2b and learnig how to recognize the strike zone. The sky's the limit for him. He's a BETTER all around hitter than Soriano and eons ahead of him as an infielder! Comparing Pedroia to Cano is like comparing Eckstine to ARod in both their heydays as shortstops.

I'm actually both a Yankee and Cano fan, but I'm not going to completely dump on Pedroia for being short. He's a great player for them. It's no different than we pump up Kennedy for his minor league stats. Other than that, we really have no real reason to be in love with a softer throwing Mike Mussina, but we do, so we hype him.

And not to mention we traded him for Arod, the greatest player in baseball. I can't speak for everyone but I don't think many yankee fans are missing Soriano right now. Catya,
