Now batting 7th, Bob Abreu
ByWell, it took only 16 games of Bobby Abreu’s producing at a .179/.273/.224 clip but Joe Torre finally moved him down in the lineup. Some Supreme Being must have threatened to smite Torre to get him to make a change that should have been made, oh, a week ago.

I am glad for the move of Abreu to 7th. I also wonder why it takes so long sometimes to make these moves. If and when he starts hitting again you can move him back…
I also do not understand why the Yanks do not complain and argue terrible calls like last night… It is disheartening to see them except a unbeleivably blatant miscall…
the guy was out by over 2 feet minimum…
i dunno, i think giambi is just a bitt to slow to be batting third, id have preferred matsui
Glad to finally see this move made. Tho, I wish Cano wasn’t strugglinghimself because I think he would be a good 3 hitter. Maybe at one point.
Jeter
Rodriguez
Giambi
Posada
Matsui
Abreu
Damon
Cano
