? Since when are backup part time 1bmen supposed to be very good players? He made a good bid hitting a hard liner which the Marlins' 1bman made a great play on and saved at least a run and probably two since it was two out and the runners were on the move. Garret Jones isn't, and hasn't been one of the Yanks' main "problems".... imo Ex: Bret Gardner has turned into a .255-ish (again) hitter seemingly overnight.
Yep. And I think, hope not, he'll also be hard pressed to steal those 40-50 bases we would all like to see if he continues to struggle reaching base. He's just not the flashy aggresive type who "constantly" attempts to steal bases. Obviously, sooner than later the Yanks having too many low BA/OBP players in their regular lineup will drag the W-L record DOWN. imo - A team can carry a couple of light hitters if they're getting compensated from the other areas of the lineup. Ellsbury, Gardy (.265-ish?) Arod, Tex, McCann, Beltran (If he wakes up) could be, could be enough to offset.
