    If Gardner's running style changes, can we blame Jeter? :jerry:

    Speaking of staying healthy, the Yanks do have IMO one of better all around hardest players in the league- Jacoby Ellsbury.
    And all indications ......MOST indications are Refsnyder is ready and ready to hit at the big level. Now wouldn't that be very nice to see a young homegrown Yankee arriving on the scene "just in time" after Jeter and doing well, recognized as one of the better YOUNG players in the league?

    And Gregorius wanting, and meeting the challenge of being the NY Yankees' SS.
    Maybe he won't put up all-star numbers.....but maybe he'll provide some excitement and fresh youthful exuberance of his own.

    Nah....never mind, this is an outrageous dream by a homeriffic fool.....this can't possibly happen. lol.

    ...yup, said many times Ells is a better option leading off.

    Unfortunately IMO if the Yankees believed that they wouldn't have resigned Drew who in all probability will be the opening day 2nd baseman.

    ... no need for that now that Jeter is gone.

    ...generally speaking, the only time the #1 spot leads off is in the first inning...but over the course of the year it would mean that the #1 hitter would get more ABs...and with that in mind, I'd rather Ells get those extra ABs instead of Gardner.

    Gotcha.

    No idea about 2-hole, but see McCann in 3 or 4.

    I gotta' feeling were going to see McCann bust loose this year.....like he has never before. Hopefully he will also take advantage of that short porch, while spraying hits to all fields, much like he did last year.

    Brian hit the ball hard and often, just to often to an awaiting glove....Brian shall overcome...!!!
