Cano might hit third for Yanks: The Sports Xchange reports Yankees manager Joe Girardi said no final decisions have been made, but it seems like he's leaning toward using 2B Robinson Cano as the No. 3 hole hitter this year. 1B Mark Teixeira had been hitting third, but Girardi put Cano there late last season. "Those are things that we'll talk about in spring training," Girardi said. "But you know, we had moved Robbie at the end. Robbie's an interesting guy, because you can hit him so many different places. We have a lot of guys like that. We'll definitely look at Robbie in the 3-hole." (Updated 02/06/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Although it is a small sample, Cano has performed well hitting third in his career. He has a .326 average with two homers and 13 RBI in 12 games batting third. Cano is going to have lineup protection no matter where hit hits in the lineup, but putting him third in front of guys like Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez, and even possibly hitting behind Curtis Granderson would be ideal. Cano remains an early-round Fantasy pick in all formats. (Updated 02/06/2012).
02/02/2012 12:21 2012 Draft Prep: Our 12-team, mixed Rotisserie draft
It's time for owners to start looking ahead to Draft Day. We get you off and running with our 12-team Rotisserie mock draft. Check out the results!
Any time a second baseman can hit .300 with 25-plus home runs every year, you have an elite performer, and Robinson Cano has cleared those benchmarks for each of the last three seasons. It also doesn't hurt Cano to bat in the middle of the Yankees' loaded lineup, and he should be able to exceed 100 runs and RBI yet again this season. Granted, Cano isn't alone at the top of the second base rankings, as he doesn't steal bases or draw walks like either Dustin Pedroia or Ian Kinsler, but he is unparalleled at his position in his ability to hit doubles, stroking more than 40 of them in three straight seasons. Cano has been as good and as consistent a second baseman as there has been over those three years, and that makes him worth considering as soon as the middle of the first round in all formats on Draft Day.
