Down But Not Out

It is hard to believe with all the early season injury's the Yanks are 21-8.

Curtis Granderson out a month with a pulled hammy. Andy Pettitte to miss next start due to inflammation in his left elbow. Mariano has a stiff left side and is day to day. Nick Johnson who is always hurt has a bad wrist and is heading to the DL. Jorge Posada has a bad right calf from getting hit last week. And now Robinson Cano hit by Becket on the knee is now day to day.

Cano, who is having the best season of his career would hurt the most if has to go on the DL. The Yanks with all there resources have a deep farm system but with all these injuries it still does not matter. They need the core players back as the Yanks face a tough May.

Thanks To Cano The Yankees Look Good

It's May 1st and the Yanks are looking good better than this time last year.

One of the main reasons is Robinson Cano. Our second baseman is out of the shoot with real good batting. He's over .400 with 7 homers and playing great defense. Cano who was almost put in the deal the get A Rod from Texas back in 2004. The Yanks did the right thing a few years ago when they gave him a long term contact at a low rate.

So this year The Cano is coming into his own and looks right at home in the
five hold. If he's healthy this could be the year of Robinson Cano.
