Brett Gardner came through Tuesday’s surgery just fine. He had some inflamation removed, and he’ll have his stitches taken out in roughly one week.
The Yankees still expect him to be ready for spring training.
Sweet he will be ready then when he is dealt once we land Crawford.
How do you remove “inflammation” thru surgery ?
Wouldn’t that create even more ?
murphydog, your mother in law is neither a manate or from manate, she is from Manati, Puerto Rico?
Murphy-
If you think you had poblems with that spelling just imagine if she came froma place like yaucono ?
By the way, Yaucono produces excellent coffee.
I’m pretty sure Gardy would make himself ready for winter ball if he was asked.
MTU,
I’m guessing it’s a typo by Chad, or from his source.
edit: “problems”. The spelling champ has returned.
I would imagine it would create more inflammation – not to mention scar tissue
Nobody is from Yaucono, but you could be from Yauco, Puerto Rico
BD-
Maybe he meant to say the surgery removed something that was causing the inflammation ?
Like when you remove a bone spur.

Howie-
Sorry. My bad.
Ledger_Yankees Gardner had TISSUE removed from right wrist. Stitches out in a week. Rehab after. Should be ready for spring
Makes more sense than the inflamationectomy suggested above.
Mell-
Either way that doesn’t sound too great.
This is basically the same procedure that Nick Johnson had no?
Brett’s got those farmboy wrists and forearms. Or maybe in his case it’s a coalminer. I bet you he’s good to go next Spring.
Johnson was all pasty and doughy. Like a cabdriver.
MTU:
I’m no doctor, so I couldn’t say. Tissue sounds better than bones, tendons, etc.
it is mind boggling to me why people would be so eager to move gardener and bring in crawford, a guy youre going to have to pay more than 15 mil per season to….what does crawford give you that gardener doesnt that is worth 15+mil per year??? 10-12 more HRs? gardener is younger, and cheaper….now IF they could pick up crawford and move swisher, that’s a different story all together. but if i had to choose between the two, and factor in their salary ill take brett.

So far I’ve chosen Mary Ann over Ginger.
And Betty over Veronica.
How about Charlie’s Angels?
Mell-
I understand. Nor am I.
Maybe Joe from L.I. could comment on this ?
I am a little surprised that such a young guy like GGBG has had to have this done so soon.
I wonder if the injury might be related to his head first type slides ?
Guess we can’t really know.
Glad the surgery went well.
Probably scar tissue or bone fragment.
GB7- I think DiceK was mentioned for Beltran only because their salaries for next year were fairly close.
Are there any FA pitchers out there worth taking a low cost flyer on? Chris Young, Jeff Francis, Rich Harden.
Marlins have 3 pitchers eligible for arbitration that they might want to trade-Sanchez, Nolasco, Nunez, to free up salary. Any thoughts because right now we have only 8 pitchers out of 12 penciled in for 2011.
The New York Yankees think they could have room in their budget to sign both left-handed pitcher Cliff Lee and outfielder Carl Crawford, a baseball official with knowledge of the Yankees’ plans told ESPNNewYork.com.
It is unclear if they first would need to make a trade so they can remain within the $210 million or so budget.
If Andy Pettitte retires, as a source close to the pitcher told ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark that he is leaning toward, the Yankees would gain some flexibility.
The Yankees haven’t pressured Pettitte in any way to make a decision. But they clearly would like to know his plans one way or the other. Pettitte earned $11.75 million this season, and if he isn’t coming back, it would create both greater urgency for the Yankees to sign Lee and provide more payroll flexibility that could motivate them to make a serious run at signing Lee and Crawford.

I agree Angelo. This guy can play and he’s a gamer. He played ok baseball hurt a good chunk of the year. Hopefully Gardner stays on the team.
I am a doctor and personally had the same problem.
Not worried about him one bit.
“So far I’ve chosen Mary Ann over Ginger”
Does anyone ever choose Ginger? She may be running 3rd behind Mrs. Thurston Howell.
Charlie’s Angels? Not an original, but Cheryl Ladd gets my vote.
RSM-
What exactly is his problem ?
Can you explain it in simple terms ?
RiverAveBlues “Rehab is pretty much almost complete … It’s something we’ll keep our eyes on” — Girardi on CC and his knee
Ben Shpigel
Girardi, when asked whether Cliff Lee is option or necessity, says, “I see him as important to us, I do”
Trader, that’s what I was figuring, but, that was the only name I’d heard. Cashman needs to see if he can dump Igawa on the Mets and see what he can get besides salary relief.
Again, can someone explain to me how Andy’s decision decides if we can fit both Lee and Crawford? Is it just the 2011 payroll they’re worried about? It just seems strange given Andy only signs one year deals anyway. How that would stop you from spending $100+ million over 6-8 years I’m just not getting..

It’s true though.
But I bet Ginger knew what to do when the light went out.
I once read that young boys preferred Ginger, but men preferred Mary Ann……….
Yank 1-
Yes I saw that. If they sign Crawford and Lee, to stay within budget they’ll need to forego Pettitte and trade Swisher for low cost prospects. If they use Nova as a starter, have they really improved themselves? I’m not so sure as I believe pitching is and should be #1 priority.

She’s got snakes in her head. She hasn’t been right since Kermit flashed her.
Greetings from the frozen North to GB, MTU, Erin and UpState Kate, also Erica, Doreen, Fran and SAS.
I don’t think CC is a significant improvement over Gardner to warrant the expense. Keeping Gardy gives the Yankees dollars to spend elsewhere.
Still want Lee and willing to make our dollar amount match 7 seven years of what others are offering. Randi I is right that Cashman has failed to develop the pitching the Yankees need for 2011. However how different would that be if Wang had not been hurt. Then we’d be sitting pretty. Still think someone needs to talk further with Joba and that he should be given another shot at starting.
Chip and Brett, I’m so glad you are not NYY GM’s.
If we don’t get lee I’m not sure I’d trade away the Farm to get someone else. Suffer for a year or two until some of the homegrown talent is ready.

Comet-
Glad to hear you haven’t turned blue yet.
Stay out of the Superstions !
Ginger was a hottie, no doubt. But I think most of us felt we’d get turned down. Look how she played with the Professor, poor guy.
Mary Ann was approachable.
Gotta check out the re-runs….
Ryan Doumit is a swich hitter who can also play corner OF positions [not sure how well]. GB has mentioned him before as a possible option.

You just won’t stop picking on poor Kermit will you?
edit: “Superstitions”.
GB-
Yeah. Maybe for a former green beret.
Girardi said. “We’d like him to have a big season for us next year. Score over 100 runs, hit .300 and just play great baseball”
————————————————————
I suppose you’re talking about Jeter, but potential-wise I hope Tex, A-Rod, Gardner all reach those milestones!
Trader, Doumit was a good pickup a couple of years ago because he could play a pretty decent outfield, catch and he could hit. Haven’t seen much of him lately, though.
Alright DaSaint 007 maybe I’ll let you on my plane full of supermodels after all.
Bring booze.

GB7-
Put me down for a young Goldie Hawn!
pcaldera More Girardi: “We’re not exactly sure who our catcher’s going to be.” Montero has to earn it, Posada (DH) has to prepare as a catcher.
Suzanne Somers, Three’s Company (1st season) ftw.
my $0.02.
Ginger was a hottie
too dumb too much makeup /Mary Anne all day
Okay, I will choose Ginger. There is something to be said for cheap and flashy.
Yeah, Goldie was a little cutie. You’d never figure that she’d have gotten better looking over the years, though. The real TV dolly from those years though was Joey Heatherton.
Put me down for a young Goldie Hawn!
now ur talkin’ kooky quirky not dumb great eyes adorable and hot
pcaldera Girardi Take 3: Ivan Nova could be in rotation or used in relief. Burnett will work pre camp w/ Rothschild. Joba or Robertson could work 8th
I’m a Ginger fan. Ridiculous body.
I feel like I’m trapped on Gilligan’s island, waiting for Cliff Lee to come to the rescue…
Billie Jo, Bobbi Jo or Betty Jo.
Bobbi Jo all day.
Time to go and take a cold shower!!
Speaking of Montero,
It seems at least a little odd that there is this assumption that he’s going be the #1 catcher (120 games?) for sure.
I’d tend to lean on the side that says he’ll catch maybe 60 games, DH maybe 80, and act as a pinch hitter in the rest.
That’s only my read on it. I just am surprised that so many assume he can just jump in and be “the guy” behind the plate immediately.
Recommendation: don’t hold your breath on Cliff Lee.
I bet you this guy is ready to re-sign with Texas or goes to Anaheim.
Result? Yankees sign Crawford and deal one of Gardner, Grandy, or Swisher in a package for a starting pitcher then apply some pressure to Pettitte for one last year.
No sense offering Lee 7 years and $160 million and no sense in being used to drive up the price on Texas.
Maybe we could trade Jeff Karstens for Ryan Doumit?
Oh wait, did that already.
I hope it’s MARCH already, geez.
Imagine Arnold Ziffel and Miss Piggy hooking up. Good God…what a couple of hogs. They could raise a lot of bacon and sausage, though.
Mary Ann definitely wins out vs Ginger
BD,
Couldn’t agree more.
Montero is not going to be the solution behind the dish for 120 games next season. No way. The Yankees are not wise to plan for such and I think Cashman knows this.
I always liked Edie Adams singing about Muriel cigars. I believe I liked all the young women of the day.
“There is something to be said for cheap and flashy.”
My life motto!!
Mo 2 years! love it.
pcaldera “Maybe your Plan A doesn’t go according to plan and you go to something else,” Girardi said. Also termed Carl Crawford ‘a difference maker’

The Yankees are doing some talking now about plan B. That is either a message to Lee or a realization he may well go elsewhere.
I do like Garza if the Rays are really dealing him. I know they won’t, however, want him to end up with the Yankees. It is unlikely a three way deal would be tolerable for them.
WOW!!!! Look what we’re reduced to. Trashing Muppets and dreaming about TV hotties from 40 years ago.
Q: Pittsburg, CA or Antioch, CA?
A: Cyanide capsule.
The Pirates are reportedly shopping Ryan Doumit and willing to eat some of his salary to move him…any opinion on trading a B level minor leaguer for him to use as a bat off the bench?
Nowhere to go but up for Burnett.
Rothschild has his work cut out for him.
Meanwhile, GB, is thinking about animal relations. . . That is a clear sign the Yankees need to act and act quickly.

Dude, I’m there – had this been a year ago. OK, maybe 4 years ago.
Let me shut up before the missus hears about these shananigans.
Obviously I didn’t see that you had already started talking about Doumit before I commented.
Trader – like you I’m not sure what he’s going to give you defensively; but in a role like the one Marcus Thames served last year – where you’re not really relying on him for defense…I would take a shot.

Nice.
