Pedroia vs Cano

[NV]

Was having this debate with someone on another forum so I decided to bring it here. I have my own opinions on the question but I'll let you guys speak.

I think it's a close comparison and depends on what you're looking for. And it's useless to ask Sox or Yankee fans because they'll go for their guy

I do think Cano is probably a better hitter than Pedey

Jason Kipnis?

Cano is a better hitter than Pedroia, but Pedroia is the far better defender

Cano: B+ hitting
Pedy: B- hitting

Cano: C fielding
Pedy: A- fielding

Cano<Pedroia

It can really go either way, but if we're just talking hitting, then I'll take Cano over Pedroia any day.

Robinson Cano because fuck Dustin Pedroia.
