yeah true. Except some of the richest people in the country didnt go to college.

College is a waste of time and money unless you are going to be a doctor or attorney.

but in Cano's case everybody in the hood wants a piece of his contract.

Hes not only supporting himself but every one of his cousins friends etc....

he is trying to make enough money that his kids , kids wont ever have to work

It was just a comparison to the majority

You couldn't be much more wrong about this. I realize this is SBR, so arguing this point on here is mostly fruitless.....but your logic is fatally flawed.

There aren't many homeless Stanford/Duke/Ivies grads for a reason.

This was simple math for Cano and it should be. Seattle put 75 mill more on the table so basically 1/3 more than the Yanks. If you worked for a big company and a small company offered you 1/3 more a year over the next 10 years wouldnt you go???? Of course. I would in a heart beat. Baseball is dollars and cents now this isnt 1964 any more.

Clearly, you weren't one of the lucky ones to receive an education.

You do realize that in 2013, it's literally impossible to get a top paying job without a university degree? Employers and businesses don't even care about experience anymore, all the old timers with 30+ years of experience are getting kicked to the curb for the university graduates.

In the modern day, unless you have a relevant connection or start your own business, you will never obtain a job that pays well and will allow for further advancement.

[stevenash]

they already did. Its no longer a bad park to hit in.

Actually it still is, it's just not as bad

[InTheDrink]

Are they moving the fences in at safeco? Going from a short right porch to a big ole park... atleast he can enjoy the cash goes his numbers will be down

ebear back in players talk!



welcome back bearer!

[freeVICK]

10 years/ $240 mill wow

[imadegen]

Yanks pay a 2nd rate player like Elisbury and dont want Cano who is 10x better

elisbury is a second rate player? lol. do you even watch baseball?

[stevenash]

The good about Cano

Has not missed a game since 2006
Since 2009 while not missing a game, his across the board numbers have remained very consistent.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/stats/.../robinson-cano
Solid defensive infielder

The bad about Cano

Awful in big games.
Post season numbers are terrible.
Even though deemed a smoother infielder, will not over extend himself, will not dive into the stands like a Jeter for a foul ball.
Will not flat out on a ground ball single up the middle.
Will piss off clubhouse sometimes by not running out routine ground balls, will concede that he will be thrown out at first.

[SteelRain]

There aren't many homeless Stanford/Duke/Ivies grads for a reason.

There are a lot of them with useless like french philosophy or early roman gay literature working at starbucks with $150,000 student debt. Trades is where the money is.

your logic that he actually USES logic is fatally flawed

[BennyBigNuts]

Cano is just yet another overrated Yankee playing in a shoebox stadium who the Yanks know will only fade with his numbers over time because he's a Lazy Latino.
So many of them get the money then crumble.

Cano is overrated, doesn't give even close to 100%, terrible clubhouse guy, and I'm still in shock at this contract.
It will definitely go down as a FAR FAR worse contract than Pujols or A-roids contracts.

This guy will bat .270 with Seattle and hit about 15 hr's this year.
He's just an average to slightly above average player who got to play on a Yanks offense that is always surrounded with an above average lineup due to overspending, as well as a horribly built stadium to produce more hr's for the fans.

[jjgold]

Cano is getting worse already

look at his stats

His was a juicer too..name was on the list

Dominicans only worried about money

And also.........Jay-Z looks like a genius for his first contract.
He got a guy 100 mill more than he shoulda got.
The Yanks were never gonna give him anywhere close to 240.
And as a player you can't blame Cano for leaving. The Yanks are just a mediocre team now anyways. It's not like he's leaving a contender.
Their pitching staff is gonna be in the bottom tier of the league this year, and their offense won't be able to support it enough.

[jjgold]

JayZ is charmed as far as business

Everything he touches turns to gold

JJ?
Stop please
Since 2009 his numbers have not gotten better or worse, they have remained rock solid.

[Monitor-Tan]

Time for the mariner to move that wall another 15 feet towards the home plate..

[jjgold]

Seattle lucky to win 80 games with cano

They have nobody an no pitchers except their Ace

Its a disgrace what Seattle did

[Louisvillekid1]

Too many Fukkin people with same avatar dammit

Want yours changed again

That's not totally true.
Kyle Seagar at third is going to be a beast.
Smoak has power.
For the time being they still have Ibanez and Moralez.
They lost Ryan to the Yankees but the kid SS Brad Miller is legit, with power too.
Their infield now, with Cano, is actually pretty good.

Their ace is King, he's a Cy Young Award winner.
Backing King is Iwakuma, he's a beast, and will be a future Cy Young Award winner.

What they need is a bullpen and to sure up the OF

Mariners have pieces, they ain't winning shit this year, but they are not a team of nothings.

A disgrace is Houston, Mariners are trying to be players.
