Why Bernie isn’t here

August 20, 2007 by Benjamin Kabak 7 Comments

The reason we are 0.5 GB of the Mariners for the Wild Card
Phil goes home

Ken Rosenthal, in a notebook piece, on Bernie Williams:

The Yankees’ evolution this season justifies their decision not to re-sign Bernie Williams. Melky Cabrera probably would not have gotten the same number of at-bats if Williams were still with the club. Shelley Duncan probably would not have gotten a chance to be this season’s Shane Spencer. The Yankees’ roster also is more flexible without Williams, making it easier for them to carry a 12th pitcher.

That’s a point no one has really made this year, and it’s one we should be making over and over again. I loved Bernie, but this team is much better off without him this year.
