Robinson Cano is Still the Best Second Basemen of 2010

Four out of the top five second basemen remain on the list from early July. The only newcomer is a big surprise, after years of hype he is finally doing what everyone expected him to do. Out of the four players who remained, only one of them moved from their top five position.

1. Robinson Cano, New York Yankees: Cano remains at the number one spot as the best second basemen of 2010. After having a blazing hot start, Cano looked like the sure-fire MVP. Miguel Cabrera ripped that away from Cano as he has cooled down dramatically over the last month and a half. In early June Cano’s average was .371, now it is 32 points lower at .329. Cano’s home run rate also dropped, he only hit five home runs since early June giving him a total of 18 for the season. The RBI’s also leveled off, Cano only had 11 RBI’s since early June giving him a total of 68. Even though Cano had the worst June and July out of everyone on this list, he still is number one because he still has the highest average, most RBI’s and third most home runs. If it weren’t for Cano’s remarkable start he would have fallen out of first. If Cano’s pace keeps up at this rate he will be moving down. I can see Weeks or Uggla taking the number one spot if Cano doesn’t get hot once again.
