Cano over the past 5 years is the second best 2b in baseball. Kinsler has done nothing outside of Texas, Zobrist has 1 season of excellence, Aaron Hill had an ok 2007 and a great 2009, Pedroia is a gamer but not better, Roberts, Kennedy, Hudson are nowhere close to being in Cano's league.

Cano

.320, 130 OPS, 25 HR's, 48 Doubles, 85 RBI's, 100 Runs, 200 Hits from the 7th spot of the lineup.
