playCano, who led MLB second baseman with 79 RBIs last year but was dogged by both injuries and criticism, is focused on 2016. He hit the batting cage at camp on Saturday. (0:26)PEORIA, Ariz. -- Robinson Cano is in his third spring training with the Seattle Mariners. He's batting .333 when it comes to opening day serenity.
Two years ago, after Cano signed a 10-year, $240 million contract and moved on from New York, former New York Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long gave an interview that was complimentary overall, but lamented Cano's tendency to jog out groundballs.
