Bench Cano now rather than waiting until September

Mets radio announcers noted Robinson Cano's lackadaisical play over the weekend Yankee-Mets series, wondered how the Yankee manager puts up with it. Girardi ended up benching Cano late in the 2008 season for lack of hustle or focus. Many thought the move was long overdue. To avoid sacrificing another season, why not bench Cano now before he can wreck the 2009 season, cause team pitchers to overwork, etc.?
