VOTE: “He’ll win a batting title someday”

As long as there has been baseball, there have been broadcasters who say Robinson Cano will win a batting title someday, referring to him like he is a 22-year old prospect making his debut.
Well, after going 1-3 on Thursday and extending his hitting streak to 17 games, Robinson Cano is hitting .373/.414/.632. His batting average is tops in the AL and is .001 ahead of Justin Morneau as of this post.
Considering he still swings at everything, has a career BB% of 4.4%, and currently has a BABIP of .379 -- we ask, is this the year the perpetual prediction becomes reality? Vote and then tell us why or why not.
Could he be right?

Wait a minute. Wasn’t it Reggie Jackson who predicted that Robbie would win a batting title (not Peter Gammons). Maybe you should change the photoshop image.
swings at everything? but hardly strikes out, maybe its time to move tex to the 7 hole and move robbie up to 3 and give him some much needed protection in the lineup…i hope you realize BB% is nothing more than a fabricated stat coming from a bunch of nerds…batting avg is a more telling statistic
