    ...new year, same crap. Standing there with the bat on his shoulders and watching a called 3rd strike go by.

    The exact reason he's not a leadoff guy.

    At least when he gets on base he doesn't sit there and watch a ton of pitches before he breaks for second…oh wait, yeah, he does that too.

    Maybe, if I keep telling myself during this
    season, "It's only spring training"......
    Nah. That won't work! But, I'll be numb.
    Not a bad residual to watching a bad team.

    Gardner is a glorified fourth outfielder.

    You remember Francisco Cervelli.
    He's having a great spring. Wish him
    well this season. He is still pumping
    his fist. Miss that energy.

    ...Cervelli was cheap and a much better option than the young Yankee backup catchers have illustrated so far. Now Cisco will finally get to play pretty much every day...and I would think that would help him even more.

    I don't dislike Gardner. He's just terribly overrated because of this alleged hard nosed reputation.

    I know its only ST but 5-38 (131 BA) so far is just ridiculous.

    And his plan is........first, get to first base;
    second, know how to read a pitcher; third,
    try to hit doubles.
    He still has not figured step two.......after
    7 years in the league. Yes, very much over-
    rated.
