MLB Feature: Who can take New York Yankees to World Series? - Part 2
Baseball experts have considered Curtis Granderson the greatest threat to the teams hoping to make post season. However, the Yankees’ side did not end to him, as they are filled with the kind of player, who can send the opposition to trash.
Curtis Granderson:
Granderson, playing only his second season with the Yankees showed to all critics that he could not only destroy but also ruin the opposition with some unexpected attacks. His 30 home-runs in first 115 games has marked him the first the player to score achieve
this since Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle scored for Yankees in 1961. He also recorded his name among three players, who launched grand slam on August 25 to make Yanks the first ever team to blister three grand slams outing. He was also the part of all three
grand slams.
With 119 runs of 474 at-bats, Granderson is among the top run scorer in both American League and National League. He also joins major leaders with his 36 home-runs and 103 RBIs with .591 slugging averages. Currently, he is second in AL in Home runs, first
in AL in RBIs, first in AL in runs, second in AL in Slugging averages and fifth in AL in OPS.
His .278 batting averages is the only negative point against him. However, his batting averages have jumped to .321 in the month of august from .250 in July. This day-by-day growing form has made him a real problem for the opposition. He also has strong
record against every team in majors including Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers and defending World Series champions, San Francisco Giants.
A left-hand batter is just six steal away from his 30-30 season and now leading the American League in RBIs as well as in runs. The level of performance he is displaying even against the strongest contestants can lead him to a Most Valuable Player of the
Year, according to baseball experts.
Baseball experts also consider him the strongest candidate for Cy Young Award. According to analysts, 30-year-old centre-fielder would be a biggest threat to oppositions in post season.
Robinson Cano:
For his kick off ability, the big fellow has been considered the stormiest player for the Yankees. Having above .300 averages with 83 runs and 22 home-runs, the 28-year-old granular hitter has ability to cause serious damage to opposition. Cano whenever
landed the plate he proved helpful for the Yankees.
He maintained his high form right from the start of the regular season. The real class he exhibited in the 2011 MLB Home Run Derby when he was in contest with Prince Fielder, who received a defeat because of 12 stunning homers by Cano while the additional
four outs were still left. This exhibition made him the part of the 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star team, in which he worked as a starting second baseman.
His current form has sent a real wave of threat to opponent’s camp. Being one of those who contributed in a record making three grand slams game against the Oakland Athletics on August 25, the Dominican left-hand hitter has made a considerable improvement
in his game in August. He has posted 6 home-runs and 25 RBIs with .340 averages.
As soon as the post season is forthcoming, he has molded his thrust into a hurricane swing. According to experts, his talent to start the game can prove a real advantage for the Bambino Bombers.
