My Take
I'll be honest, Robinson Canó might be the smoothest second baseman I've ever watched. That swing was pure silk, the kind of effortless lefty stroke that made hitting a baseball look like it required no effort at all, and his glove at the keystone was just as graceful. From his Yankees years to that huge Mariners deal, he was an eight-time All-Star and a perennial doubles machine who quietly piled up over 2,500 hits. The knock on him was always the body language, that loping, low-energy vibe that made fans wonder if he was trying hard enough, and yeah, the PED suspensions definitely complicate the legacy. But when he was locked in, few hitters in his era looked more naturally gifted. A complicated, undeniably talented player.
