On Sunday New York Yankees Mgr, Joe Girardi announced that Brett Gardner will be the Yankees starting CF. Not surprised by this move at all. Cabrera projects to be nothing more than a 4th OF, while Gardner has a lot more speed which Girardi likes and overall had a better spring than Cabrera.
Gardner goes from projected winner to winner.
Yankees CF, Brett Gardner vs. Melky Cabrera. Cabrera and his .268 lifetime avg seems to be nothing more than a 4th OF. Gardner, who struggled in 127 ab’s last year with a .228/0/16/.283 has really turned it on this spring. Gardner has put an impressive .395/3/6 with 4 sb’s in 38 ab’s. Perhaps Gardner can be for the Yankees was Scott Podsednik was for the White Sox in 2005. Winner – Brett Gardner
