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.

Remember
9/11
   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???
