ok, we aren’t talkin about a utility infielder roll here, im refering to the part mentioned: “but now I can see him as an everyday shortstop.””

tell me, were you a fan of doug mienkevitz(close?)? cause thats what i see

This was written by Peter Abraham 45 minutes ago.

“Wow, Ramiro Pena just made a terrific play. Nyjer Morgan bunted and Pena raced in from third, bare-handed the ball and made a strong throw across his body to get the runner by a step.

Great play. The Yankees have an interesting decision to make with that utility spot. Angel Berroa is a “name” but Pena has played his way into consideration.

To me, you keep Pena. He’s twice as good on defense and he can pinch run. Isn’t that what you want from a utility infielder? Berroa has a better bat but how often is that player going to hit?”

How many games could you have seen really? 10? That’s a big difference than 100. When he boots a ball that’s no big deal. His range is superior than most. He’s getting to balls other people can’t.

Long live Rico Bergman!

i must be missing something…i’ve watched all the ST games that have been televised, and …I just don’t see it

this sounds to me like when the yanks got rico bergman and everyone was so excited about his glove and that his bat was serviceable…and we all know how that turned out

Bill Madden doesn’t know much when it comes to younger players. I don’t think Jeter is at risk of losing his job to Pena. Even if they move him from short I don’t think Pena has the bat to last as a starter in the Bronx.

“But he was a magician with the glove.”
