Gentlemen, you will find this life hack useful, how to unshrink clothes.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 18, 14:00 [youtube]
The Cano stuff is mind-boggling to me given what Pedroia signed for. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 13:59 8
- I'd say they're about equal. I can't see where he thinks he's worth so much more or where he's going to get that. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 14:02
- I'm the biggest Muddy Chicken fan on ST but in no way is he Cano. - Mel Profit Nov 18, 14:01 6
  - He's actually not far off. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:07 2
    - My impression is that Cano's power numbers are substantially better but I may be wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 14:08 1
      - They are, Dustin makes up some ground with on-base percentage. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:10
  - He doesn't have the power of Cano. I think average wise they're equal, fielding equal from what I've seen though Cano has a better arm. - Krusty Nov 18, 14:03 2
    - Cano's OPS+ for his career is 125....Pedroia's is 117 so he's about 8% better offensively - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:08 1
      - I don't see Pedroia enough to say which guy is better in the field. Cano is outstanding, that's what I know. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 14:10
The storm may have destroyed his home, but at least it didn't wreck his PS4! -- (link) - znufrii Nov 18, 13:55

      - "the follow-up is entitled "It's A Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story" and follows George Bailey, the unlikeable grandson of the original George." - Remlik Nov 18, 14:01 5
