    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NEW YORK (AP)—Slumping center fielder Melky Cabrera was demoted to the minors Friday, the biggest move in a mini shakeup by the struggling New York Yankees as they tried to regroup for a playoff push.

    The Yankees also designated backup first baseman Richie Sexson for assignment and placed pitcher Dan Giese on the disabled list. The club brought up three players from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre: outfielder Brett Gardner, infielder Cody Ransom and reliever Chris Britton.</div>

    Melky has been an eyesore at the plate, and he's much better than a .240 hitter. Hopefully they fix up his Swing in Pennsylvania.

    I don't like releasing Sexy. He was good for defensive replacements. Beats having Eyechart and Philips last year.

    Hopefully Brett can get on base 1-2 times a game, and start something.
