C-Squared -- Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera -- are off to extremely different starts to the season.
Cano, the one who contended for the batting title the year before last, is batting only .156. He's got four extra-base hits in 90 at-bats, five RBIs, five runs scored, an on-base percentage of .216 and a slugging percentage of .222. Ouch.
Cabrera, meanwhile, has had an excellent April. He's hitting .296, with four home runs (as many as Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui, and one off the team lead of Jason Giambi). He's knocked in 10 runs, scored 13, has an on-base percentage of .366 and a slugging percentage of .493. Cabrera has been on base in 20 out of 22 games (with last night's game being one of the exceptions).

Cabrera has been and continues to be severely underrated.
