Where Is That Great Yankees Offense?
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2008 · Comments (7)
The Yankees have played 35 games now, this season.
In 15 of those 35 games, 43%, New York has scored 3 runs or less. And, they’ve lost 11 of those 15 games.
In 20 of those 35 games, 57%, New York has scored 4 runs or less. And, they’ve lost 15 of those 20 games.
If you’re wondering why the Yankees, on the morning of May 8th, are a game under .500 for the season, there’s your answer.
At the risk of becoming repetitive, call up Gardner and put him in LF. Shift Damon to 1B and bench Giambi.
I do agree that Giambi might need a break, but wouldn’t it be better to have Duncan at first and Damon in left? Duncan is almost certainly a better hitter than Gardner at this point, and Damon would be a huge question mark at first base. They shouldn’t rush Gardner to the majors just because he’s having his first success in AAA, especially when Duncan has had even more success.
Duncan’s having success this season?

i believe he meant in AAA
The status quo isn’t working. It’s time to try something until A-Rod comes back, i.e., Gardner.
Damon can’t play first, why do people still talk about this???
Oh please. He played 1B last season, and btw, neither can Giambi.
Give it up.
