David Price is a strong contender, but he very easily could have sat the whole thing out had we chosen Evan Longoria to represent the Rays. Instead, we opted for the left-hander, while the third baseman is the AL Wild Card. Why Cano is a Franchise Player Robinson Cano is among baseball’s best players, but he plays second (Derek Jeter), third (Alex Rodriguez) and fourth fiddle (Mark Teixeira) to his teammates in New York -- and those are just his fellow hitters. A career .309 hitter, the second baseman is mentioned in the race for the AL batting title at the beginning of each season. He hit an incredible .342 in 2006, but finished behind Jeter (.344) and Joe Mauer (.347) for high honors. He walks at a much higher rate now than he did earlier in his career, but he’s still a free swinger on a famously patient team. We’ve learned his rough 2008 season was an aberration. His WAR last season was 6.1, good enough for fourth in the AL. Why Price is a Franchise Player Price quickly made a name for himself as a reliever with the Rays during their run to the World Series in 2008. He had a win and a save in five appearances that fall, while striking out twice as many batters as he walked. Tampa Bay returned him to his rightful role the following spring and he’s been among the AL’s most reliable starters since. Last season, he went 19-6 with a sparkling 2.72 ERA and finished second in the Cy Young voting. He may also be the biggest bargain in our bracket. He will make a mere $1,500,000 in 2011, despite his status as one of the game’s most promising left-handers. Click here to see this year's 'Be A GM' bracket.
