Update: Cano hits a slow roller to short that forces Posada at second, but he gets Matsui to third with one out for Swisher. Update: Pat Sajak is in Boras’s box as well.

"I look at Robbie and offensively he's had a great year," Girardi said...

That's the question Anthony McCarron of the Daily News tries to answer in yesterday's news. It's actually not that crazy of a question when you think about it.The infield of Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira is one of the vital cogs in the Yankees' great season so far, but their impact may be much deeper, in terms of baseball history. Some believe, with apologies to the immortal Tinker to Evers to C...

In doing so, he earned himself his team-leading 3rd pie job.

He deserves it to and has had a huge year, helped by a monster second half. However, let's not forget what C.C. Sabathia did to put them in that position to win in the first place. Through seven innings he gave up only two runs, one walk, and struck out 10. That's pretty damn good and I think its time for a C.C. Sabathia appreciation thread.Sabathia has drawn his share of criticism this year. After the huge con...

A by-product of this success seems to be comparisons to other second basemen around MLB, especially to Boston's Dustin Pedroia (.296 AVG, 10HR, 53 RBI, .371 OBP).

I formed a seven- man committee comprised of one NL GM, one AL GM, and five assistants -- three NL and two AL -- and posed this question: If you could have Robinson Cano or Dustin Pedroia for the next five years, who would you take and why?
