Chase Utley's career numbers. Nice. If you had asked my to go from the gut, and compare Joe and Utley solely on Offense, I would have thought Utley's bat had more impact. But Joe and Utley's career numbers corelate pretty evenly. Well…. look at this: .904 130 / .391 wOBA.

It would be very nice if he could keep it up." [2] Tell ya what.... I certainly don't expect him to keep up this level of i>insanity</i>. Would .330./.380/.520 be a reasonable expectation? If the dude can be a true .900 OPS guy, we will have gotten more then anything we had a right to expect. Robbie has, up this year, been around an 825 OPS guy. I was hoping he would at least get near his potential and be a consistant .850 guy, but in my heart I was really hoping for .860. I would say the Gold Standard for 2nd basemen would be 'The Joe' Morgan. .................................... OPS OPS+ Cano career stats: .830 116 / .353 wOBA Joe's career stats: .819 132 / .382 wOBA Canos 2006 stats: .890 126 / .377 wOBA Canos 2009 stats: .871 129 / .370 wOBA Zo.... I know these numbers don't corelate exactly, so I'm taking a guess that Joe's numbers might corelate to something around(?) a .900 OPS? So if Cano posts a .900 OPS, he is sorta as good with his bat (relative to his era) as Joe Morgan? “Cano is just something else so far. It would be very nice if he could keep it up.”
