Cards asked about Cano
ByVia MLBTR, St. Louis GM John Mozeliak called the Yanks asking about the availability of second basemen Robinson Cano. The Yanks’ response: it’ll take Carlos Beltran pwner Adam Wainwright. And that was that. Good to see the Yanks still have faith in Robbie and believe he will return to elite 2B status.

I would have asked for Rasmus: he’s just as untouchable but at least he fills a need and is quite the prospect himself.
+1.
Agreed Pablo.
I’m not sure if Cano is worth Wain. Cano has tons of potential especially for a 2nd baseman. I look for him to blow up this year in a lethal lineup. Hopefully he doesn’t take the first half of the year off like last season. Plus filling a starter would then create a hole at second. Here’s my two needs for the Yanks…
- Forget Andy P. How terrible that he’s holding out for more money. I always loved him, but he’s beyond his best. Who had your back with the HGH ordeal? He should be begging to come back on this amazing new team in a sweet new ballpark. I say we take a cheap risk on Sheets. We can use Hughes or whoever until we know how Sheets is holding up. If he is the Ben Sheets I’ve seen in the past… he’s a stud.
-Centerfield… I like Gardner’s hustle and Melky’s D, but I would love to see someone more established. I’d hate to trade Nady (I think he’s a great hitter) but if we could get a nice centerfielder, I’ll take my chances with Swisher who may bounce back in a big way.
LETS GO YANKEES THIS YEAR! SO FAR CA$HMAN HAS BEEN BRILLIANT AND PLEASE>…NO MANNY!
I’d hate to see Robbie go, so I’m glad Cash is asking the right price.
Is Wainwright worth Cano?
No. He’s about a #3 starter.
Irrelevant but he’s about the best-case scenario for Zach McAllister.
He was the ace of their team last year after Carpenter went down. He posted a 3.20 ERA last year, and a 3.70 ERA in 202 IP. I’m also a Cardinal fan, and he’s been their stopper for quite some time now.
**3.70 ERA in 202 IP in 2007
as a cards fan, would you trade him for cano?
i don’t think so. in my mind we have our own adam wainwright in phil hughes. cano’s offensive production (even in a down year) for a 2B is great. i’d rather keep him than give up that kind of offense at a premium position for a piece similar to what we already have.
Hmm, if Wainwright has the upside like Hughes wouldn’t it be a good deal for us to give up Robbie for him?
In two years Hughes >> Wainwright.
Hopefully no more injuries effect his “road to the show”.
stats…

Waino es bueno

I really hope we don’t trade Cano. O-Dog would not be worth it. Cano has too much potential to give up unless it is an absolutely overwhelming deal.
rick ankiel should be next cf trade kennedy and melky and maybe nady for him cards like kennedy alot ankiels a free agent after 09
ya dude we should definitely do that ankiel is awesome man i like ankiel alot it would be smart decision
+1
Why? Even if you’re not sold on Kennedy as being a future stud, that’s WAY too much to give up to get .262/.325/.488 out of a guy whose defense is adequate but not much more than that.
why not just trade melky and kennedy for pujols maybe throw in nady on second thought why not just trade them for beltran or maybe even sizemore we could throw in a comma just for the hell of it or maybe a capital letter or a period that would be a thought to think about
ha.
I enjoyed this post.

cause ankiel is short porch built swing in a fa year you know hes gonna put up big numbers watching him trow is worth price of admission , this is the guy cash wants hes just waiting to see what pieces he can trade after spring traing
Your other personality’s name is “65hughes,” isn’t it?
It is his long lost brotha.
lol be realistic cards want to move him need pitching
Cano, Kennedy and Swisher for Wainwright and Rasmus
Might be too much too give up.
for who? the cards…yup. look, they’re not dealing wainwright for cano. and there’s no possible way they’d even consider rasmus for kennedy and swisher. rasmus is one of the top half-dozen prospects in all of baseball
Sarcasm fail.
who me?
no cano give him another shot you trade cano who plays second wait maybe cards can throw in thier 2b adam kennedy ,, naaaaa
Get me what he’s smoking
or drinking.
or both.
Big trade just went through.
Sold pretty low on Pie eh, maybe a Peavy trade is coming.
That’s the first thing that popped into my mind. The Padres wanted Olsen for Greene, and now the Cubbies can included him a deal for Peavy.
Olsen, Vitters, Cedeno, Jeff Stevens for Peavy?
+1.
I guess that could work. Is Headley going to be a full time LF now?
I think you meant “a” trade.
Heh, we should hopped in on that. Could of gave up anyone but Melvin.
If you look up the definition of “untouchable” in the dictionary it says “Melvin Croussett”.
Interesting that the Yankees were not in on that Pie trade. They must feel Gardner/Cabrera are the better option. This makes me feel better about Gardner. Pie is a very nice trade for Baltimore, at worst a very good fourth OF.
I think it has more to do with AJax
and the Os are about to lock up Markakis.
Anyone who thinks that Ajax is blasting into NY by 2010 needs a reality check. He looks to be at least a couple of years away if then.
I know he’s raw. But 2012?
it all depends what he does this year, if he’s just mediocre in AAA then they’ll wait another year, if he lights it up theres no reason he wont be up in september
I’m a fan of both Gardner and Jackson. I just wish we had a few more high end OF options in the minors. With the mega contracts we need some reasonably priced players especially in the OF.
