標題[新聞] Red-hot Yanks trio up for Aaron Award
時間Thu Aug 20 13:17:23 2009
The Yankees have looked to Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira to
help lead their potent offense all season, and now the trio of pinstriped
sluggers have been nominated for the prestigious Hank Aaron Award.
The Hank Aaron Award, presented by Sharp, is presented annually to the best
overall offensive performer in each league, with each club having three
nominees. This is the seventh consecutive year that fans have had a voice in
selecting the award winners.
Fans can vote through Sept. 15 to determine the club nominee, and then voting
will be held Sept. 16-30 to select the winner in each league. The winners
will be announced during the World Series.
Last year's winners were Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis and Cubs third
baseman Aramis Ramirez. Originally introduced in 1999 to honor the 25th
anniversary of Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's all-time home run record, the Hank
Aaron Award was the first major award to be introduced in 30 years.
Cano, 26, made a concerted effort to bounce back from a disappointing 2008
campaign, and he has returned to form as one of the best young talents in the
Major Leagues, leading all Major League second basemen with 808 hits since
his debut on May 3, 2005.
The sweet-swinging left-handed hitter recently compiled a 14-game hitting
streak for the surging Bombers, batting .431 (25-for-58) during the stretch,
and he has belted 18 homers already this season -- surpassing his home run
total from all of 2008 and placing him one shy of his career high (19) from
'07.
"I would say the adjustment is to swing at strikes and have good luck
lately," Cano said. "Before, I was hitting it right at people. It started
falling with runners in scoring position and with men on base. ... You know
what, the season is not over yet. To be honest, right now, this is the best
year I've had in my whole career."
Jeter, 35, recommitted himself to agility training over the offseason, and
the extra work has paid dividends. After Yankees manager Joe Girardi decided
this spring that Jeter -- not Johnny Damon -- would be his leadoff hitter,
Jeter has responded.
Over a 57-game span dating back to June 11, Jeter is batting .358
(86-for-240) and has stolen 20 of 24 attempts after swiping just 11 bags all
of last season. On Sunday, Jeter surpassed Luis Aparicio for the all-time
Major League record for hits by a shortstop.
"I don't ever sit around and look back on anything that we've done," Jeter
said. "It's just more of what you can do to try and improve. That's what you
try to do, year in and year out. I think being consistent is something that
gets overlooked at times, but I think every player strives to be consistent.
That's all you can do."
Teixeira, 29, has sparked talk of Most Valuable Player candidacy in his first
season of an eight-year deal with the Yankees. The switch-hitting first
baseman entered play Tuesday ranking second in the AL with 30 home runs and
third with 86 RBIs this season.
Whereas some stars struggle to adjust to the high profile of New York,
Teixeira seemed to need little time to blend in. Teixeira has blasted 15
homers in his past 44 games at Yankee Stadium, and he became just the eighth
player to hit 30 homers in his first season with the Bombers.
"We've put ourselves in a good position, and I've fit in really well with
this team," Teixeira said. "I'm having a great time and hopefully I can stay
healthy and keep producing. I'm having a lot of fun right now."
