B-Ref has it right [Nov 2, 1981]. Betemit went through reverse age-gate back in 2000." Ben, from BR.com Bullpen:

This suggests that pitchers have found and exploited his weakensses and he hasn't been able to adjust.

According to MLB.com, he's listed with a birthday of 11/02/1981. ESPN, however, lists 7/28/1980. Considering that these dates have usually fallen on older age of the spectrum in the past, I would be surprised if Betemit is really 25. Betemit’s official age is all over the place.

career OPS of 100. he’s an average hitter, but for a UIF, that’s a lot better than Cairo (76 OPS ). plus betemit is just 25 vs. Cairo, 33, and Proctor 30.

if Farnsy goes too, it means Torre will rely A LOT on Joba. shit… maybe edwar will get another shot.

He can play all infield positions, and the corner outfield if need be. That's why wen want to get rid of Cairo, though we know the Yanks are too stubborn to make that move.

He's the only one who can cover the middle infield positions (unless Betemit can), should Jeter/Cano turn an ankle or something. My guess is their bench cut list looks like 1) Basak 2) Duncan 3) Cairo No way Cairo is sent down.
