if cano attains those numbers u mentioned then he's hof'er no questions asked....as for your comparison to jeter....please jeter will make hof based on his leadership on championship teams and being the 3rd highest hit total ever and intangibles and being the best player in the moment.....there aren't many other guys in hof like derek jeter.....if robbie is to make the hof it won't be for anything other then stats.....just liked 95% of other hof'ers i never ever used awards as a barometer .....i could care less about that..... Derek Jeter was the “best SS in the game” for maybe one season of his entire career. Didn’t matter your point???.....

my point is being the "best player in the game" at a position isn't a qualifier. Yeah altuve is better than cano NOW, but that doesn't lessen the case for Cano being all-time great...just like it didn't lessen jeter's

You and Brussels sprouts told me altuve is better than cano as proof cano isn’t best 2b since guys shared gloves.

I feared that his loafing up the first base line would cost us a game from time to time.

All remains quiet on the Free Agent front. I’d say January 20th brings us to the doorstep of panic time. 24 Days to Pitchers and Catchers reporting.
Talk about dumb ideas....doubt any player remaining can alter market trends. Don’t sign and no one will miss you.
Top free agent is ready to sit out part of the season if teams continue to offer undervalued deals
Who could it be? By Whitney McIntosh@WhitneyM02 Jan 16, 2018
Whether MLB teams are currently participating in any sort of collusion, which is TBD, there’s no denying this offseason has been sloooooow. Like watching a sloth try to swim in a vat of molasses while grass grows in the background.
Slow.
More than 100 free agents are still unsigned, and pitchers and catchers report to spring training in less than a month. This is all fine and definitely not out of the ordinary. Scott Boras, one of the top agents around, still has four high-level free agents waiting a deal, and we’re halfway through January.
J.D. Martinez has already reportedly revealed that he is willing to hold out on the teams that are bidding for him right now until he gets a better offer — whether that comes in the form of additional years or more money. Now, another top free agent is also reportedly willing to hold out ... but for a much longer period of time should the right deal fail to come.
In a recent story from Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan, he reveals that a free agent told a friend that he’d be okay keeping himself on the sidelines until his asking price is met.
Recently, one of the best free agents available this offseason met with a friend, and he admitted something shocking: He was preparing to sit out until the middle of the season. The market for his services this winter was so thin, the offers so incompatible with his production, that he worried he was going to need an external force to compel teams to pay him what his numbers say he’s worth. Maybe it would take a playoff race. As the free agent in question spoke off the record, who it could be is left to speculation and conjecture. It could even be Martinez, simply taking his threat to hold out on a contract from the offseason into the 2018 season itself.
But there are also Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain, Jake Arrieta, Lance Lynn, or Yu Darvish to consider, among many others. Any of these players could be willing to hang out at home until a team offers them whatever they think they are worth. No matter who it is though, the players being shortchanged don’t seem to be taking this skimpy market lightly.

With football season nearly over and not much televised anymore these days, I went on line and pulled up some great Yankee moments of 2017 on YouTube. They had a lot of good ones including the Yankees, comeback win vs the Indians and game 3 comeback vs the Astros. After watching highlights after highlights, I was watching it for 3 hours! How I missed Yankee baseball. Anyway the point of this email, I am very warming up the idea to see if we can bring Frazier back for 1 year or option because if his leadership and postivity he display in the dugout.

Blocking Andujar for Frazier makes little sense. If Andujar struggles fielding simply play Torreyes a lot. Toe gives more than Frazier with the bat.

I don’t think it s necessarily blocking him especially if only one year deal plus option? Yanks did it with Cano, Posada easily them in slowly, training on the job kind of thing. Heck Andujar could gain valuable lessons from Frazier. Now if they sign Frazier or Moose for 3-4 years then it may not make sense especially they do not trade Andujar. That’s just my opinion.

And his obp is particularly weak. He's a fill in who if played regularly would be exposed

No way they are on the roster together.

Toe can come in late in close games if his throwing is a concern in the early going.

Exactly John. Unless he's a total trainwreck in the field, or obviously doesn't hit, that plan makes sense and sounds good to me. I like Frazier, but he's nothing special and I hope Andujar can be just as good as him this year.

I’d be all for Frazier if we didn’t have Andujar. Hal thankfully is a prospect hugger.

Who backs up Bird at 1B?
Please don't say Ronald Torreyes.
