He's walked a grand total of 49 times in his career which has led to an IsoD (OBP-AVG) of 27 which is absolutely terrible. His power has actually disappeared altogether this season, he only has 5 HRs and his doubles (according to MLB.com) have mainly been ground balls down the lines, not a lot of drives deep into the gaps.
So he doesn't walk, doesn't hit for much power, gives you a nice average, plays poor defense and has average speed. I'd rather just find a poor defensive, semi-athletic LF and stick him at 2B. He'd be cheaper to acquire and could give you similar production.
so he wont bat 1st or 2nd in your line-up.... he hit 342 last year.... with an 890 OPS (15 HR's) in just 122 games. While I agree that Cano isn't a very well rounded player (i would argue the opposite) I think that this is a player who is going to develop more power and swings a heavy bat (whatever that means).
Considering we don't like players who actually make money Cano might be an interesting piece.
