Can Robinson Cano turn into Barry Bonds lite?

[Rev]

Today's HR was like

The man is especial.

 

[yseJ]

dont really understand the comparison. cano has neither obp nor power nor speed barry had.
cano is great, but... not close to barry at all.

 

[HHR]

....but I'll be damned if I've seen a lefty hitting the ball the opposite way for homers with as much ease as he is now since Barry.

Nah, he'll barely hit 400 in his career.

 

[HHR]

Votto

Hosmer

Ortiz

This may be irrelevant..but Yankees 2nd basemen propsect is Rob Refsnyder.... The MVP of College World Series.Are they grooming him to replace Cano?

 

[Professor Polo]

No

and I'm a Yankee fan

 

[FaTaL]

doesnt have the speed but some of the hitting ability is there

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Cano's OBP is pure shyt. He simply doesn't know how to take any walks, but amazingly, doesn't strike out much.
Dude is an enigma....but I'll be damned if I've seen a lefty hitting the ball the opposite way for homers with as much ease as he is now since Barry.

It doesn't even look like he's swinging the bat hard.

Eh, he's still pretty much an uppercut swing pull guy. If we're going to make any broadhand general comparison, he's more of a Griffey lite than anything with the ease he can pull balls out of the park.

Can he play SS tho?

 

[Rocket Scientist]

hell no.

Can he play SS tho?

im sure by 2014 he will learn how to...

 

[mr. smoke weed]

nah, not even close

 

[HHR]

I know ya'll are joking, but kids that play in the OF in college don't become MLB-quality shortstops lol

...and no one taken close to #200 overall is being groomed for anything

 

[Grifter]

I could see him hitting 4-5 hundred but nothing crazy like Bonds.
