I think the results are pretty much in on this speed burner. He is an automatic double if he ever gets on first. The big problem: making contact at all and, when so doing, muscling the ball beyond the infield dirt. So far, as he approaches 100 at bats, Brett is blasting out singles at the rate of .170. Anyone still believe he is a .290 hitter on the cusp of " breaking out?" The Yankee brasses are currently meeting in Tampa to decide who to give up for Jason Bay or Xavier Nady. Personally, I...

"Team USA" -- wait; wasn't that a puppet movie by the guys who do South Park? -- beat the REAL American team -- us -- today 6-5. But the big is was Brett Gardner, IIHIIFIIc "YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH" for February, who went 3-3 with a double and stolen base. Listenup... We love Melky. And we won't give up on Melky. But Melky is soooooo 2007. Brett Gardner is the great new hope for a young, emerging star who can make the Gammonites forget the money, the DWIs, the pole dancers and faded... Read Full Story

Brett Gardner being called up
I read this at Pete Abraham’s Blog . According to Pete’s blog, Pete found the info here… The Times Democrat . Now, let’s look at Brett Gardner’s stats… Brett Gardner’s stats . He’s batting .287. That’s not the greatest but he walks, a lot. Not only does he walk, but he steals bases like he knows who he is. In his past 10 games he walked 15 times and stole 9 bases. Whoa. His on base percentage is an incredible .412 for the year and has the second highest on... Read Full Story
Brett Gardner is headed for the Bronx. The fleet-footed OF was called up by the Yanks yesterday. It's possible that with Hmat out and Damon old, they just want to have another OF option. As Gardner is NOT coming up to sit, however it is far more likely that the Yanks are giving him a look to see if he can handle major league pitching before making a deal involving Melky. There may have been talks started, or Cashman is just anticipating the market. Either way, I think the timing of Gardner's... Read Full Story
Whether they bring up someone from the minors * Brett Gardner cough cough* or make a trade that involves Melky, they have to do something. When you bring in Wilson Betemeit and Chad Moeller as pinch runners, something’s wrong. Melky hasn’t been preforming, so either bench him for a bit, bring up Gardner, who has speed, and ride him out a bit. Or you can trade Melky, and get back quite a bit. But anyway you put it, when the Royals take 2 on the road coming into the Stadium losing 11 straight... Read Full Story
