Gardner just isn't a 15...I agree with you Reed! Gardner just isn't a 150-ish games played type of guy. Girardi is so concerned with giving this guy and that guy days off to keep them fresh but never gives it to Headley or Gardner...

I love the guy and his way of playing the game, it isn't his fault he doesn't have the base running instincts one needs to be real successful at it. His problem is rest, high energy guys need more rest than most other players, something that flew over the head of Joe. All he needed every year was to be given a day off against real tough lefties once in a while.<br />He can end up the year with a .280+ AVG. and 15 HRs if given plenty of rest along the way...also, IF he learns not to take after me, the high hard one was a pitch I Always swung at.<br /><br />As for trading him, I don't like it but, if it would give up a very good player...why not, after all the Yankees are for winning the Gold every year...2nd place is a for losers.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
