Robinson Cano’s 2007 Daily Zone Rating Graph
Most of us who watched the Yankees in 2007 saw that Robinson Cano played very good defense at 2B. Here’s a graph that shows how Cano’s zone rating compared to the AL average at second base throughout the season.
From May 10th or so on, Cano was better than average, peaking in early June at .885 (which would be equivalent to around a +21 over a full season). He tapered off a little and ended the season at a ZR of .846, which made him worth around +9 defensively. Here’s a list of all the AL second baseman who bettered that.
Mark Ellis (+25!!)
Aaron Hill (+12)
And that’s it. It’ll be interesting to see if Cano can keep this up, because if he can he could be the best overall second baseman in the AL although Brian Roberts, Hill and Ellis are all in the mix.
On an unrelated note, Top Prospect Alert has posted their Top 10 Yankee prospects if anyone wants to check it out.
