Hey guys,
He's been playing with a sports hernia IIRC) for quite a while, so his defensive prowess decline is to be expected. He's been more than fine the past few years. I'm not seeing evidence that he's lost it, eyond being hobbled this year.
That said, on the face of it, I like the Cano to 1B move....if Cano does.
I think I like it more with Marte at SS, Miller at 2B and some sort of Jon Jay (purchased with the Trumbo/Morrison bucks) in CF. I think, anyway. But I quite like Taylor at SS, btw. He's was a 0.8 dWAR guy there last year in less than 50 games. He was actually better in AAA at SS this year than last. His RF/9 was 4.71!!! He was at 4.3 in AAA and MLB last year. Marte was a 4.35 combined this year. Marte had a .972 MLB fld% this year....identical to Taylor's! Taylor was at .962 last year.
There isn't much difference between the two guys, although Marte looks the more exciting out there. Taylor can pick it, too.
On 2nd thought, the kiddie corp deal isn't bad, Doc.
But Cano remains a classy 2B in my eyes, too.
You don't have to move him. But if you remind him that Carew made that move, he might not complain too much.
