    His numbers are down, some by a considerable margin...lowest since 2008.
    Especially HRs, SLG% and OPS---- 14, .454 .836
    He's still an excellent hitter and still plays just about every day.



    And those numbers (I believe), are numbers which are less effected than some others by his supporting cast.


    (imo) -- The Yanks probably would've won enough games to be VERY close to, if not good enough for a WC spot if he was in their lineup this year.

    He's been an asset to the Seattle franchise...
    ...but are his 2014 numbers (or close to it) -worth it for this Seattle franchise over the next 9 or so years at 25 mil per year? He's not getting any younger.

    From the SEA side, it's not just that he personally hit .310---and frankly, an .836 OPS in Safeco is behemoth---but many of the other guys he worked with. Seager had a career year that he attributed heavily to Cano working in the cages with him. LoMo, Ackley and Smoak all said he helped them out.

    He was also pitched around a ton. I think he had somewhere around 20 IBB, and many more that were intentional in everything but name. For most of the season he had the ghost of Fat Kendrys Morales and .200-hitting, still-no-knees Corey Hart hitting behind him.

    The one number I'm slightly worried about is isolated power, but almost all of that was pre-ASG. He still hit 10 HRs after June 29, so it was just a half-season shortage.


    And yeah, I think he would've had to have helped you guys.

    ...hope Seattle enjoys the next 4 years because the last 5 years of that contact could be brutal.

    ...you really are a miserable little wretch, aren't you?...but it's no problem for me to juggle 2 idiot stalkers at once.

    ...and sorry, but fyi, before the season started many people, including me, said Cano's numbers would suffer.

    Sorry but NO ONE! can tell me that Seattle ownership is happy with his numbers for $24M a year. And like someone else mentioned. look out for his final 3-5 years of that 10 year contract.

    Yeah, they're happy with the numbers. Just not solely the ones you're thinking about. 17% Attendance spike, biggest in the majors. Playing before a sellout crowd in the last homestand of the season. They're so happy they told Zduriencik that they'd make significant upgrades to the payroll this winter.

    And yeah, the last 3 years might suck. 7 years of great-to-good Felix/Cano will have to suffice. That's a lot better than we've had in 15 years, and all it took was some cash.

    I'm sure they would have preferred a GREAT Yankee Cano then a GOOD Mariner Cano for the money they gave him. I mean if he has his 25-30/100+ this year as he did with the Yankees the Mariners are still playing.

    ...the M's average drawing 25K fans at home per game this year (23rd in Baseball)...and that's only 53% capacity.

    ...in fact, Seattle drew far more fans on the road this year than they did at home.

    Sure, of course. But if we had Nick Franklin rather than that .314/.836 we're worse than the Astros and don't get the bump in cred or attendance.

    Then again, there was no other way we were getting .314/.836 and gold-glove D for any amount of money. I guess we could've spent that money on Ellsbury and Beltran--if they would've come here (I think they tried with Ellsbury), but SEA wasn't a free-agent hotbed. We'll see how that changes this winter.

    ...for the money, all things considered, I'd rather have Altuve.

    _____________________________

    Sounds like a safe bet...unless Seattle somehow lands a couple more big time hitters very soon to compliment Cano.
