Robinson Cano in 2008 was horrible, swinging at pitches out of the strike zone and had no idea what was going on at the plate. This also translated into defensive lapses that you just shook your head at. Joe Giraidi decided to bench him to send a message, and the message might have been received. Since the benching he finished the 2008 campaign strong, add in a strong fall league and spring training and you might be seeing the beginnings of something special. Kevin Long has been working with him on closing his batting stance and taking more pitches. He has walked 4 times already in which it means he is being more patient at the plate. Time will tell when pitchers start to make adjustments then we'll see. But for now its a step in the right direction for Cano and the Yankees.
