My Take
Like Cano, I really hope the Yankees hold on to Wang, because this guy has a great future ahead of him. For example, in just his 2nd season, he finished 2nd in the AL Cy Young voting. This year, he is the Yankees' undisputed #1 pitcher, after going 19-6 in 2006 with a 3.63 ERA. Besides his performance on the field, I really like his attitude and demeanor off of it. Also, it's really rare that the Yankees have a stud pitcher come up through their farm system (before him there was Andy Pettite, and before Pettite there was.....???), so to see him ptitch the way he does every five days is really great.
