The reason they came to this conclusion? Pedroia's work ethic. Hardworking, scrappy players are more desirable than those with natural ability whom, it is assumed, don't work as hard.
Sherman's article appeared just a day after Mark Teixeira was interviewed on The
Michal Kay Show. Kay asked Teixeira if there was anyone on the team of whom his opinion had changed since becoming his teammate. His answer? Robinson Cano. Teixeira said that he sees how hard Cano works and that he believes his teammate is a future MVP and a future Hall Of Famer. (For his part, Kay sounded utterly shocked to hear this.)

I don't know about the Hall Of Famer part, but I was happy to hear Mark Teixeira speak positively about Robinson Cano. Teixeira ought to know what he is talking about. He is around Cano everyday. Front office executives from other teams (and Michael Kay, too, for that matter) are not.

Sherman's work has been questioned at times, and I think this is another one of those cases.
Didn't he hear about how Kevin Long flew to the Dominican this off-season for a week to work with Cano personally? Cano's comeback season should be credited to his hard work.
