No Limit for Robinson Cano


The New York Yankees think Robinson Cano is capable of accomplishing anything on the baseball field. Robinson Cano is 25 years old and is Dominican. Cano has already been an All-Star and the Yankees figure there are more to come in the future. Everyone questioned that Cano might even receive a Most Valuable Player Award. For Cano's first three years as a major, he has shown great numbers. Last season he batted .306 with 19 home runs and 97 RBI. Manager Joe Girardi even said, "I haven't seen a play he can't make, I haven't seen a ball he cant hit." With the season arriving, I wonder if the Yankees will succeed. I feel everyone has to much expectations in Cano and might be disappointed. When told to Cano that he could be MVP, he laughed. We will have to wait and see what the results of 2008 MLB season will be.

Pedro is Feeling Good.


Lately, much of the Mets team is going to Fort Myers. As of now Pedro Martinez is the center of attention at Mets camp. Martinez is ready for the season to start and is feeling great. Martinez said himself, "I'm thinking that if it was a real game-and I felt so good-it would have been the same." His main goal this season is just to feel healthy. Martinez threw 59 pitches in three innings, 43 of those were strikes. His max speed was 87 mph. Martinez tells us that he will reach 91 mph by time the season begins. He is scheduled to pitch the second game verse the Florida Marlins on April 1st. As we can see Martinez is pumped for this season and is expected to play great. Its good to know that he wants to stay healthy and strong without using drugs such as steroids used by previous baseball players.

Walsh Denies He Has a Deal.


Donnie Walsh denied to ESPN reporters that he has accepted the three year contract with the Knicks for $15 million. This is a great offer but no one knows if Walsh will accept or not. Donnie Walsh was the ex-Pacer boss previously and could be part of the Knicks soon. Reporters are saying its only a matter of time before a deal is reached and an announcement is made. Monday Night on ESPN, it was said that Walsh did come to an agreement but Walsh who resigned as Indiana Pacers team president said it is not true. Lately the Knicks practices have been cancelled. Knicks head coach Thomas' future is one of the most important aspects with the agreement of Walsh. Many want Thomas gone but we do not know the results. So I guess we will have to wait and see what Walsh's answer will be.
