Cano, Pedroia top 2B list
I can’t wait until we start hearing the crack of the bat in exhibition play and the heart of the fantasy draft season arrives. I’m always curious to watch how spring performances affect the thinking of fantasy owners and how the second and third tiers of each position begin to shake out.

Read: Yankees Cano was never much of a prospect
In an article that is hidden behind ESPN Insider’s pay-wall, Kevin Goldstein discusses what kind of prospect, or non-prospect Robinson Cano was as a youngster.
We’ve known that the Yankees tried to trade him quite a few times, most notable is the deal that would have had him included in the Alex Rodriguez trade. However this is the first time I’ve seen an article...
