dude have you seen those two in the dugouot giggling with eachother and slapping eachothers asses? wouldnt surprise me. theres at least 3 homos currently on ny baseball team rosters....melky, cano and david wright
Interesting comments by Bill Madden (the ultimate Yankee lover) of the NY Daily News today on NY Sports NetWork. He said Mariano Rivera is so bummed out by the Yankees moving Joba to the starting rotation, he is totally frustrated and mad at the Yankee front office and totally distracted by what he considers their ineptitude his head is in a fog.
anyone else ready for Gardner to get his shot? http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/...tt Gardner&pos=LF&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=458731 Hitting .300 with a .417 OBP. 25 stolen bases in 33 attempts. 62 hits in 60 games. he has been on base 105 TIMES in only 60 GAMES
ive been waiting for some new faces for years....same old fuckin mugs i gotta look at every day. you cant try to compete and rebuild at the same time. neither ends up happening
The only reason he's not up now is because he's a lefty. He should be starting in CF with Melky as a late inning defensive replacement for Damon/Matsui.
I hate the fact that melky cabrerra is the starting center fielder for the ny yankees. its embarrassing.
Melky is a sold center fielder with a great arm. hes at least a decent hitter. i would hardly call it an embarrassment
ok obviously you guys are taking the gay thing a little too literal. melky is a 4th outfielder. plain and simple. if you think hes anything more youre crazy. for a team with a 200 mil dollar payroll, having melky as the starting cf is an embarrassment. Since there is so much ridiculous money being dpent on other guys, we have to have a bargain basement cf. Melky has a great arm. to say his defense is anything more than average with the glove is not being fair. hes doesnt exactly roam center field like andruw jones used. his bat you can keep. hes a 270 hitter with little or no situational intelligence.gimme a fuckin break with the melky.....he is NOT the long term answer and the yankees know it. he is a 4th outfielder.
If defensively Melky is a fourth outfielder, Bernie Williams was a career A-ball player. Melky is a power hitter, not a singles hitter. He'd probably bat 6th on most teams, but since he's a Yankee, there's nowhere else to put him but ninth. Add in the fact that he's fast on the basepath, and it's pretty much a no brainer. He'll be in one of the corners long-term, after Damon and Abreu are history, and Gardner and Tabata come up. (I did think it was hilarious how everyone was jumping on the homo comment. I was just sitting back watching quietly. Great stuff! Far more entertaining than this team.)
haha dude. They all got all up in arms cuz I called them homos. unreal. Melky a power hitter? mmmmmm not for my money bra. When Bernie could still move he had a fantastic first step. not great speed and virtually no instinct but for some reason he got great jumps and he made more plays than youre giving him credit for. It was only his last 4 years or so that he was a complete trainwreck. And lets compare bernies offensive numbers to melky's.....doh!
Melky is an awful CFer. He was one of the worst in baseball last year. He would undoubtedly be better in a corner OF spot as his complete lack of range is what makes him an awful CFer, he was very good at in zone plays last year. Of course his bat has no business starting in a corner OF position. Dude has never slugged .400 in the majors, I don't see how you can call him a power hitter. It's funny how some people will excuse his mediocre offense because he's a CFer, ignoring the fact that he also costs his team runs in the field.
Melky's not a power hitter. Also, his speed is barely above average. And it's incredibly difficult to imagine him being a starter in the outfield long-term. Gardner and Jackson are far better defensively in CF, and there will be guys with better bats for the corners.
haha there ya go. so we actually agree on something? that the melky love on this board is totally unfounded? he is clearly a 4th outfielder.
