Yes, Robinson Cano's been terrible too

You know that moment when you're walking along, and then WHAM: It hits you?

You made a really stupid mistake and it's too late to fix it.

There's probably a word in German for that moment. A long, long word.

It happened to me this morning, when I was walking home from a coffee shop.

Sunday afternoon, I'd been thinking about Robinson Canó, which gave me an idea for a video -- a vlog, I guess some people call them -- about the most disappointing hitters in the majors this season. Which I made, and uploaded, and which got published Monday ... about six minutes after I realized that I'd completely forgotten to include Robinson Canó. 

Yeah. That happened.

How? Because when I went to make my list, I foolishly relied completely on numbers and forgot the reality check. So as I was scanning the list of sub-zero WARs among every-day players, I just didn't get down the list far enough to find Canó (0.0 fWAR).

Which was negligent. There's not any meaningful difference between 0.0 and -0.3 WAR. For that matter, there's no real difference between 0.2 and -0.2. We're not smart enough for that yet. So I should have looked much farther down the list for candidates, to +0.5 at least.

I would actually argue that Canó is the most disappointing player in the majors this season. Yes, he's played better than Matt Kemp. But the Dodgers are paying nearly all of Kemp's salary this season, while the Mariners are on the hook for every cent of Canó's $24 million salary.

Throw in the fact that the Mariners were supposed to actually be the best team in the A.L. West but instead have been (arguably) the worst, and it's pretty easy to argue that Canó really has been the biggest disappointment.

So is this temporary? FanGraphs' Dan Farnsworth sees a mechanical problem, and mechanical problems can be fixed. Alas, it's probably too late to matter this season; too late to save Jack Zduriencik's job. But there are 192 million reasons to try.
