    Ya know, I'm just not bringing up the notion that players traded by Idiot Cashman are doing very
    well out of Yankee pinstripes, but damn.........how many of you would trade Headley back to San Diego
    for the Solarte kid? SD GM would laugh in douche bag Cashman's face!

    I'm making a prediction now that Cashman will not do anything at the trade deadline that will have any kind of impact on this team.

    Yup - Refsnyder has hit whenever he's been given the chance despite being bounced around positions and AAA/ Yanks and I agree with giving Didi a chance in the 2nd spot.
    Joe The Genius stood by last year down the stretch as Gardner hit .208 and .198 in Aug/Sept while Didi was batting. 310 and .248<--- still 40 pts higher than Gardner lol.
    The least Joe The Genius could do, the one obvious move he could've tried to help the team score more runs was removing a black hole from the 2nd spot in Gardner and replacing him with Didi.

    I've also suggested this year Girardi should remove Gardner from the 2nd spot and replace him with Didi...or at least vs LHP.
    Gardner .221/ .531 vs LHP....nope, his .531 OPS isn't a missprint.
    Didi has been outstanding vs LHP .365/.843.

    Joe The Genius has ALREADY let too much time pass and hasn't taken advantage of this situation.
    Ellsbury currently batting .282 with .348 OBP and 16 SB and this idiot Girardi continues to put Gardner behind him....on the contrary, at this point Gardner is the guy who should be batting 8th- 9th in the order- for the past 2.5 years Gardner has been a .257 hitter averaging 109 Ks (seasonal rate) while still being a speedy baserunner.
    He's a 8th/9th hitter if I ever saw one!

    Also, Gardner's K rate is a killer in the 2 spot while Didi has K'd 33 times.
    Another item, Gardner is batting .200 w/risp while Didi has been doing very well .297 w/risp.....and keep in mind this is happening while the leadoff hitter Ellsbury has stolen a team high 16 bases.

    JOE THE GENIUS!

    .....sigh, how's your boy Shane Greene doing?
    I know you were all gushy after his first couple of starts last year with Detroit but cheer up, he's still young and has lowered his career ERA to 5.31 and WHIP to 1.43...and odds are Gregorius won't improve upon his current numbers and become an All Star SS in the coming years.

    sigh.....

    ...wtf does Greene have to do with anything?...you just can't help it, can you?...when you have no other recourse you bring up irrelevancies from the past. Like I said before, it's all you have evidently.

    ...and fwiw, my "sigh" post was not directed at you, jackass...but by all means, continue your paranoid and schizoid tendencies.
