Robinson Cano tops this year's free-agent rankings - MLB - ESPN

It was too long to post in one post. You want just the names or the names & what he says about each one? For each player, there is a little thing like this, which is kinda cool, but I can only post 10k characters per post (I can do all of them, but it might take me awhile. Vote?):

1
Robinson Cano


AGE: 31
DOB: 10/22/82
HT: 6-0
WT: 210
POS: 2B





AVG .314
OBP .383
OPS .899
HR 27
WAR 7.6


A seven-win second baseman at age 31 who's showing little to no deterioration in his skills would be among the best free agents in any offseason, but this year's crop is weak enough to push Cano to the top.
Swing and approach changes spurred by Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long several years ago took Cano to superstar level, helping him become more patient and recognize off-speed stuff earlier so he can make better choices at the plate. Cano has very quick hands and generates plenty of power from his hips, producing hard contact that results in high BABIPs as well as an average of 28 homers the past five seasons (only slightly boosted by Yankee Stadium's cozy right-field dimensions).
If there's a flaw in his game, it's an occasional vulnerability to left-handed pitchers, especially those who can spin a curveball or sweep a slider down and away from him, a pitch he's shown a tendency to chase, but not enough to cause a major platoon split so far. He's a slightly above-average defender who probably could be more than that but occasionally appears to take a play off here or there, although it's worth crediting him for how far he's come on defense since he was a prospect who looked like he may not stay at second.
If you want an impact player and have $22 million to $25 million a year to spend, this is your guy, a 2-hole hitter for the next three or four years who should still be productive into his mid-30s.

looking at this year's post-season stats, i'm thinking ellsbury is the better bang for the buck, position aside. throw in the fact that he wants 30 mill a year and he's a deadbeat dad, teams may not be in a bidding war for him anytime soon.

Ellsbury is #2

Only sort of, but mostly no, from what I read. The issue the baby momma has is that he is not supporting his son to his own level of lifestyle, and, that someone he pays in lump sums the amounts he owes, vs. paying each and every month.

As I vote by mail now, I almost forgot that today is an election day. I hope everyone else had more choices than I, with my ballot being a single item involving school funding.

As I know a lot of stupid kids, I had to go for it.

Some shit you just can't make up -

HAMILTON, Ohio —
An Ohio man was sentenced to 11 months in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to a felony charge for having sex with a pool raft in public.
Edwin Tobergta faced 12 months behind bars after pleading guilty to public indecency, a fifth-degree felony. Tobergta has been convicted three times before to the same offense.
Judge Charles Pater said he encourages Tobergta to take advantage of new sex offender program for people who suffer from developmental disabilities once he's released.
"But I'm not going to put you in that program instead of prison," Judge Pater said.
Tobergta will also have to pay court costs, and at discretion of the parole authority, may get three years probation.
Tobergta, of Hamilton, was arrested for stepping out his back door naked at about 1:20 p.m. June 15 and having "sexual relations with a rubber pool float," according to a Hamilton police report.
Theresa Teague's 10-year-old daughter was enjoying her new swimming pool June 15 when she ran back inside her house and said, "Edwin was doing something weird out there," the Hamilton resident told the Journal-News.
Tobergta was engaging in the sex act with an orange inflatable toy that Teague said a neighbor had put out for the trash.
Tobergta has been arrested for similar offenses, according to Hamilton Municipal Court records.
In August 2011, he was arrested at his home after he was seen engaging in sexual conduct with a pink inflatable swimming pool raft, according to police records.
The incident allegedly occurred in an alley behind his home. The witness, who was the owner of the raft, reported to police that the suspect took the raft with him after being shouted at to stop, according to records.
After the 2011 arrest, police said Tobergta admitted to the act and told officers that he has a problem and needs help.
Following a 2008 conviction for felony public indecency, Tobergta was sentenced to five years community control.
In that incident, officers responded to a home to a report of a naked man standing in a neighbor's yard and engaging in sexual activity, according to records
