But be prepared to walk. Cano can do it, but we're going to have to live through some more growing pains for a lot of these other kids as they perfect their pitch recognition, and understand the way to handle the pitch when they do recognize it.
We have key players who are still struggling with the adjustment period. Smoak in 2011 was sporting a .900+ OPS heading into June. Ackley, 40 games into his installment at second base, was OPSing plus .900 as well (wrap your head around that). These guys have the tools, and we've seen others like this - Franklin, maybe Jones. What we are also seeing is a retarded adjustment period. Get with it, guys.
