Melky As 2009 Centerfielder?
Yes. And I saw how he failed to progress this year. I saw his swing at pitches that Giambi would have had
trouble short-hopping at first base. But he can play centerfield. And throw. And run. Making a great catch in
centerfield is like hitting a double or a triple. Let's not forget that.
So, why wasn't he brought up on September 1st? Cashman's not exactly having a great season himself,.
Imagine, general managing by reading the backs of baseball cards. Melkytype players -- when they're going good
-- should be the future of the team. No more 'old guys surrounded by old guy's. Doesn't work.
Melky's back. Abreu hurt his hand, so the Yankees brought up next year's centerfielder. 3000 mile trip to
Seattle last night to play the Mariners for 3 games. Angels after that, also for 3 games. It's all slipping away but at
least I'll be able to see next year's centerfielder. Right, Brian? Right???
