Brett Gardner

I was going to post this yesterday afternoon, but with my previous post being about who the Yankees should sign next year to play left, it's only fitting that my next one be about Brett Gardner. I mention in the Crawford/Werth post that "Barring a breakout season by Brett Gardner, the Yankees will likely be in the market for an outfielder next off-season." If Gardner can play everyday, I think that Gardner could surprise a lot of people, and as we find out from Mark Hale , so does Kevin Long...Read Full Story

John M. made this very incisive comment about Brett Gardner on a previous post I think it was decent of everyone who hates Brett not to mention what his head looks like when he takes his helmet off. Has anyone seen that old Outer Limits with David McCallum. Seek it out, you'll see what I mean. I did just that. The tv episode is above. On the left, has anyone checked out how many fingers Brett has? Meanwhile we are in the process of getting no hit by an ex-Met reject!Read Full Story

As Brett Gardner's delegated Yankiverse defender, let me clear this up now. Above is David "Man from UNCLE" McCallum in the aforementioned episode of THE OUTER LIMITS. It does not look like Brett Gardner. Not one bit. Not one iota. It does, however, look like this bizarre alien. (Check out the ears.)Read Full Story

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...Read Full Story

Brett Gardner broke through in at bats lasts season and he rewarded the Yankees by tearing up the base paths for 47 stolen bases. Gardner’s speed is legit and this team needs his youth in the lineup game after game. View and VoteRead Full Story

At least he knows not to smile when he strikes out. What's up with that? Evidently that's been Andruw's modus operandi his whole career, but damn it's annoying.Read Full Story

When investing into Brett Gardner ‘s problems, one stat really jumps out at you. Gardner, after batting .287 against righties last year, is only batting a .105 against them this year. But even more telling is what Mark Simon found out, in an excellent article on ESPN back in March . Last year, against righties, before he was hit by a pitch on June 21st, Gardner had an awesome .421 OBP. Afterwards, it dipped to .353. What happened? Well, according to a heat map Simon uses, basically...Read Full Story
