    Sure recently he is not in CF...

    He will still be utilized in CF though I am sure in some day offs to players, since he has played it most of his career.

    He still has a fantastic bat, but has dropped some speed and range. Just move him to LF. And in a roster update he will be moved to LF obviously.
    He is still a great player too. So I think they have him in the right spot too.

      Cano

      .320, 25 HR's, 85 RBI's, 200 hits, 48 doubles, 100 runs, doesn't walk or strike out, above average defense.

      Kemp

      .297, 26 HR's, 100 RBI's, 180 hits, 25 doubles, 100 runs, doesn't walk but strikes out a ton. 290 K's the last two years to Cano's 120 k's. Kemp is also a gold glove CF.

      I call the trade even.
      Kemp is also 3+ years younger, and has a higher ceiling...

        whatttttttttttt?

        Damon is a dinosaur in LF. He gets turned around the wrong way all of the time on fly balls to LF. He has zero range whatsoever. I cant even count the amount of times a ball would hang up in the air to LF and fall 2 feet in front of him. Lets mention his arm. He needs a cutoff guy for the cutoff. Zero range, no arm and no effort in Yankee Stadium LF. It's going to be a comedy watching him "play" LF at Comerica.

        Damon the hitter. Guy is a gamer and he will get a big hit when needed. Here is the problem. He had a perfect Yankee Stadium uppercut swing to the short porch in RF. 2/3 of his homeruns last year were at YS and the first couple of rows. Comerica's RF is 330 unlike the 314 at YS. Another thing to mention is that Damon was flat out horrible last year towards the end of the season. Not a good sign for a player of his age. He offered zero production in September. ( 0 HR's, 7 RBI's).

          Cano was born in October of 82, Kemp September of 84 so 2 years.

          I think they both have high ceilings. It's an even trade in my book and I believe both teams would trade eachother straight up if it ever came down to it.

            I think Kemp has a higher upside, but Cano is real valuable based on his position..

              I dont know about Kemp having a high ceiling. I think both players are pretty much even.

              I think I like Cano because he brings some pop that MOST 2B dont have, add that with the average and good defense, you cant lose.

              Kemp is great, but you expect that power and production from your outfielder. Cano gets a little more recognition being in NYY but Kemp is also great.

              Kemp deserves top spot in CF and Cano got stiffed at 2B ratings.

                Maybe with Hughes in the deal.. Plus LA has him for reasonable money the next 3 years...

                  Where's Denard Span?

                  It must really suck being a Twins player featured in a video game if your name isn't Joe Mauer...no love.

                      Not sure if anyone can expect 30/30 with gold glove defense in center.. I do like Cano and his defense was much improved this past year.. looking forward to the LA NYY series in LA in June..

                          Haha, ouch!

                          Seriously though, without having to worry about Gomez anymore, Span will quickly move up the ranks, I just think he is already better than a couple on that list.
