 “The game of baseball is a very lucrative thing for players and owners. The ones that get left out of that are always the fans, unfortunately. Baseball sometimes just needs to get out of its own way.”

Robinson Canó played 38 games in Winter Ball this offseason: 

.295/.363/.389 with 31 RBIs and 16 walks. 

He had only 1 home run and his 1 triple was a misplay (should've been a single), so no power to speak of in 37 games. 

Started as DH, but played good chunk at second base.
