And if this were football, or if there were such a thing as a "designated fielder-runner," I'd say, stick him in center. As it stands, however, he is just plain terrible at the plate. I don't care if he's gotten lucky the last few games. He's quadruple-A at best. Re Brett Gardner: Love this bobblehead’s hustle in the field and on the basepaths.

Your voice is always worth listening to, and unlike some others, isn't in love with its own sound. On Cabrera, I couldn't agree more that he is an outstanding defender. Vin: Cabrera is in a select group of defenders. I won't call him elite, because that's an even smaller, rarer group. But he is excellent. CB,

I still think however there is a bit of hypocricy when someone says they are unequivocally right and then posts something that is unequivocally wrong - and still trashes everyone who doesn't agree with his opinion. But I will do my best to rise above it. Pat M – good advice.

You act as if you should be the GM of the Yankees and your opinion is the right opinion. But i have another suggestion for 1st base. Trade for Morneau with the exception of Joba, Hughes and Jackson. Texiera is overrated. Imagine this lineup 1. Damon DH 2. Jeter SS 3. Abreu RF 4. A-Rod 3B 5. Morneau 1B 6. Nady LF 7. Kemp CF 8. Posada C 9. Anyone including "Laura" 2B Let me guess Laura... you dont think a trade for Morneau is possible and the Yanks would be crazy to deal top prospects for him.

I just have great difficulty with posters who have any air of condescension or feel the need to personally put down other posters and call them names just because they are not in agreement. SW in my opinion does that often. I don't care who agrees and doesn't agree about Andy. It won't change my life any! Pat M I’m good with it.

His only talent is speed and he doesnt even know how to run the bases. And in case anyone else thinks otherwise, Gardner is terrible.
