Hopefully Jeter recovers soon. Yankees getting few runs because Damon and Jeter are not getting on base, and Abreu, A-Rod and Matsui are only ones batting decently. If Jeter goes on DL, put A-Rod at SS and Ensberg at third-won't happen though! Posada will probably have to go on DL since he can’t throw, as we don’t need any more DH types.

I even read it in one of the minor league blogs late last year. I myself have seen him make a couple of spectacular plays taking over short last september. O.k. one. Diving to his left. As someone stated earlier. If he can hit around .250. He should be there rather than Betimet. If i to pick between Ensburg and Betimet it would be Ensburg. He atleast has had success in the bigs and has been an all-star no long ago. Betimet is not even in Cairo's league. I cant believe i would ever say that. He can only hit left handed(STILL K'S ALOT DOING IT). Too slow for middle infield. Its all good though. We will score enough runs to win. I would rather have a couple position players hurt than our starters were last year.

He's not here for offense. He's going to be here because he's a more solid defensive ss for a semi-long term stretch (week or more) than Betemit. Gonzalez hitting .250 in the majors is a very big IF.

At this point, he is. He looked fantastic at the plate the first two weeks he was here, and then he devolved into the strikeout machine we now know. Good utility players are a rare breed. Luis Sojo was one. Randy Velarde was another (even pre-roids). He was an clutch as anyone, and he could handle the glove. Betemit plays sloppily at all the positions, and he never puts the ball in play. What you ask from your utility players are productive at-bats and the ability to fill in at multiple positions. No one's asking him to be an all-star, but we'd like him to hit .250+ and give us productive quality at-bats and a solid glove, especially up the middle. trisha–the problem is, you need your utility players to NOT be a liability.

So basically, Alberto, all you have to do is put the ball in play and make a few nice plays on defense. If Gonzalez can hit .250 with only a few Ks, Betemit should be GONE.

Is it me, or is Molina one of the more consistent bats? Wherever he puts these guys they're going to respond. Moving Cano around early & often is good for him. He's going to be the movable part and this is part of his development. I think that Girardi likes having Cabrera at the bottom to turn the order over.
