Robinson Cano VS. Justin Morneau for AL MVP

Robison Cano has flourished this season batting fifth, behind Alex Rodriguez, in the lineup. Last year Cano struggled mightily when the Yankees first moved him to the five hole. He was known to choke under pressure when there were runners in scoring position. This year is a completely different story.
Cano is not only the best hitter on the Yankees this year, most can argue that he is the best in all of baseball. It is a little early to talk about MVP, but how can you not with the way Cano has been hitting and fielding, he is doing everything!
In the field Cano makes every play look easy. It’s almost as if he is floating on air, the way he glides over to the ball. It seems like anything that is hit 10 feet to the left or right of him is turned into an out.
Cano’s stats are out of this world so far, he is leading the yankees in eight categories on offense: runs-41, hits-82, doubles-18, home runs-12, RBI’s-45, on base percentage-.402, slugging-.611, and average-.363.
The only other person that i see giving Cano a run for his money in the MVP voting is Justin Morneau. Morneau also leads his team in almost all of the hitting stats and has actually drawn almost double the amount of walks as Cano which also gives him a higher on base percentgage.
Morneau is known to get injured at least one time a season, which may hurt his chances of winning the MVP over Cano. I actually think these guys are both so good that it will come down to who plays more. If either one of them is injured for a few weeks or more, they aren’t as valuable to their team.
There is still a long way to go in the season. These two players could cool down and open the door for some other outside candidates

New York Yankees president Randy Levine tells Brewers owner to ’stop whining’ about payroll

Yankees president Randy Levine has heard it often, but he’s had enough of complaints from small-market owners about payroll disparity.

Milwaukee owner Mark Attanasio was quoted in Monday’s USA Today saying, “We’re struggling to sign (Prince Fielder) and the Yankees infield is making more” than the entire Brewers roster.

“As I’ve said, Mark’s a good friend, but he needs to stop whining and complaining about our player payroll,” Levine told the Daily News. “We play by all the rules, and we always have. We’ve contributed hundreds of millons of dollars in revenue sharing and no one complains when they get the money.

“But use that money to sign your players. Period. As you notice, the complaining always comes from others, not from us.”

Rodriguez ‘at ease’ with Galea

Alex Rodriguez says he is “at ease, no matter what” with his relationship with a Canadian sports doctor embroiled in a cross-border drug smuggling investigation involving human growth hormone and another drug.

Rodriguez told reporters Tuesday at the Yankees spring training complex that he still does not know when he will be interviewed by federal authorities. The slugger said last week he was “aware” of the investigation and plans to cooperate with the government.

When asked if he is choosing not to talk or has been told not to speak, Rodriguez laughed and says he “thinks the latter.”

Yankees Fans “No Bay… Okay!”

Jason Bay, the newly introduced New York Met has all New Yorkers excited for different reasons. On paper his departure from Boston is a win for both ball clubs, although as it typically turns out for the Met’s, Bay will most likely under perform, have a significant drop in numbers, and or will be injured and forced to retire. Conversely Yankees fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing they no longer have to deal with an over-achiever wearing the red pinstripes.

Jason Bay’s departure from the Red Sox to the Mets, benefits which club, the Yankees, Mets or Red Sox the most? Let me know what you think…

Joba wants to start in 2010

Unless he’s told otherwise, Joba Chamberlain anticipates being in the Yankees’ starting rotation in 2010.

Sure, he knows there’s never any guarantees. At least as a member of the World Series champions, Chamberlain has a shorter off-season – meaning less time to consider the winter what-ifs.

He’s already been receiving text messages and calls about the Hot Stove League.

“[It's] not so much the rumors part of things [I pay attention to], just kind of the way things are going to shape up, what’s going to happen and just the overall feel of [it],” Chamberlain said Tuesday afternoon.

Matsui’s bat drives Yankees to 27th World Series crown

The New York Yankees bolted from the dugout even before the last grounder was scooped up. After waiting nine years for championship No. 27, no one would dare hold them back.

“It feels better than I remember it, man,” captain Derek Jeter said. “It’s been a long time.”

Hideki Matsui tied a World Series record with six RBIs, Andy Pettitte won on short rest and New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday night, finally seizing that elusive title — the most in all of sports.

Paint the town in pinstripes! Nearly a decade after their dynasty ended on a blooper in the desert, the Yankees are baseball’s best again.

Matsui, the Series MVP, powered a quick rout of old foe Pedro Martinez. And when Mariano Rivera got the final out, it was ecstasy in the Bronx for George Steinbrenner’s go-for-broke bunch.

Rodriguez’s double in ninth gives Yanks 3-1 World Series lead

Alex Rodriguez waited all game long for this hit. Heck, he waited his whole life. The New York Yankees have been waiting, too.

Rodriguez delivered a go-ahead, two-out double in the ninth inning off Brad Lidge and the Yankees took advantage of Johnny Damon’s daring dash to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-4 on Sunday night for a 3-1 lead in the World Series.

“There’s no question — I’ve never had a bigger hit,” Rodriguez said.

Derek Jeter came through again and Mariano Rivera finished it off as the Yankees moved within one win of that elusive 27th championship and first since 2000.

Rodriguez applauded his own hit, for good reason. Seething since the first inning after again being nailed by a pitch, the highest-paid player in the majors struck back with his potent black bat.

Matsui’s blast sends Series to Philadelphia all tied up

Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui shook the New York Yankees from their lumber slumber and sent the World Series to Philadelphia all tied up.


Teixeira and Matsui hit solo homers off familiar foe Pedro Martinez, backing a sharp performance by A.J. Burnett and giving the Yankees a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 on Thursday night.

“After yesterday, getting a win today was big,” Teixeira said.

A night after getting stopped by Cliff Lee in the opener 6-1, the Yanks bounced back from an early deficit, sparked by a pickoff throw from backup catcher Jose Molina, and won in the Series for the first time since taking a 2-1 lead against Florida in 2003.
