Thomas has been much more involved in the offense lately, he’s doing a great job of staying out of foul trouble and he’s been protecting the pumpkin. Assuming he maintains the starting gig, Thomas is going to be a real force down the stretch as he helps whip the floundering King offense into shape.

Yes, the Yanks exercised their $15 million option on him for 2013, but this is his walk season, so that’s a story that will need to be closely monitored. The slam dunk first keystone corner dude off the board, Cano is likely going in the middle of the first round after setting a career high in wRC+. Sure, he stunk it up in the playoffs, but over the course of an entire season, no one is in Cano’s class at second base.
