IronPigs Welcome "The Other Guy in the Deal"

Infielder Robinson "Crusoe" Cano was added to the team in the recent trade for defensive specialist Albert Pujols. He was added in the hopes of improving the offensive production from the 2b spot.

His predecessor, Chase "Manhattan" Utley never really found his groove in the spacious Pig Pen.
Chase hit for moderate power, but could not manage better than a .317 on base percentage last season. We expect that he will do well in Vermont and wish him the best, but it was time to try something else.

Cano did even worse than Utley last year in all offensive categories, however, we believe that last season was the exception and not the rule. We believe that he will be near the top of the leaderboard in a couple statistical categories for the coming season. We expect him to have a high batting average and quite possibly lead the league in the all important "grounded into double play" statistic. We believe that he is supremely qualified in this endeavor.
