George King reported this morning that Robinson Cano, Mark Melancon, Brian Bruney. and David Robertson have all cleared waivers.As King correctly points out "The fact that players clear or are put on trade waivers isn't an indication they will be moved. Most times it's a procedure clubs go through to gauge interest in their players and see if they are able to trade them later should another team have something they want."Yesterday the Yanks place a second group of players on waivers. That group includes Alfredo Aceves, AJ Burnett, Melky Cabrera, Phil Coke, Shelley Duncan, Sergio Mitre and Edwar Ramirez. They have until Monday to clear.
