Brett Gardner Cleared To Swing The Bat

As we all saw, and unassumingly were all shocked by, last night Brett Gardner pinch hit late in a game for the first time since the first couple weeks of the season. Brett has been taking batting practice and swinging drills since his elbow surgery and has been cleared to do everything, no restrictions. You have to think that Girardi will take him on the post season roster now as they were already considering it before the doctors gave him the ok. What has been an up and down season for Gardner, mostly downs, can really be turned around if he makes the post season roster. I do not want to see anymore of Raul Ibanez in the field or Andruw Jones even dressed in uniform.
