Robinson Cano can do. Drafted by the New York Yankees out of the Dominican Republic in 2001, Cano quickly ascended through the Yankees' farm system. And when the second base slot on the big league team came up for grabs in 2005, Cano stepped up to the plate, exciting fans and teammates and the Yankees' brass with his bat, glove and speed. Now, following an equally remarkable 2006 season, Cano looks primed to anchor second base for years to come.
