Cano’s Hill

Coming into this season, Robinson Cano had a lifetime batting average of .314 (in 1,621 AB).

To date, this season, Cano is batting .185 - as he’s 25 for 135.

It’s reasonable to assume that Cano has another 440 At Bats coming to him this year - assuming he avoids serious injury. In order to reach that pre-season lifetime batting average of .314 (for this year), Cano would need to bat .355 from here until the end of the season. That’s going 156 for 440.

Last year, during the second half of the season, Cano batted .343 (in 319 AB). And, in 2006, during the second half of the season, Cano batted .365 (in 211 AB). So, it’s possible that he could bat close to .350 for a long stretch.

Wouldn’t that be something, if Robinson pulls off a blazing finish to his season for the third year in a row?

Hell, it’d be a miracle if he ended up at .300. Frankly, I can only expect him to bat around .314 for the rest of the season, which would leave him at .283

if that is how cano’s gonna play for his career, might as well start him on the dl for the first month and a half of the year

Cano is killing me.

He’s been hanging out with Giambi too much or something- Expect, Robby walks less.

Does anyone know how many (total) Robby has left on base so for this season? Also, where does that fall when compared to other hitters (across baseball) who batted six or lower in the line up?

It feels like (to me anyway) that Robby has a personal goal of leaving at least three on each game.
