He steps on it before he catches it, takes his foot off and then catches it and throws to first... This happens A LOT with Cano (Yanks). I noticed this two times in the last series with the Sox.

White Sox need pitchinghelp after giving up 20 runs. I'd like to see Peavy on Boston or Atlanta. Milwaukee would be better off going after Peavy than let's say a subpar pitcher like Boston's Brad Penny. It would cost Boston many prospects to land Peavy (if he even wanted to go to a AL team).
