Comments on: Britton recalled; Joba to the DL? http://riveraveblues.com/2008/08/britton-recalled-joba-to-the-dl-3557/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:01:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joseph M http://riveraveblues.com/2008/08/britton-recalled-joba-to-the-dl-3557/#comment-127582 Joseph M Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:12:51 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=3557#comment-127582 Melky isn't what's killing them, the pitching (especially the starters) has stunk. In the last 10 games the Yankees have given up 12 or more runs twice, 9 runs three different times (and they actually won one of those games), seven runs another time and 8 runs last night. 3-7 last ten games and as the old commercial use to go, with respect to their record over the last ten games "they earned it". Can't win with this type of pitching, The Mick in his prime wouldn't be albe to help. Melky is not doing well to be sure and he needs Girardi to get in his face and explain what needs to be done to retain the starting job beyond this year.

Next year may see; Nady in RF, Johnny in LF, and Brett in CF. With Miranda at 1st/DH and Jorge 1st/DH/C. Unless the team pulls off a trade for a top quality CF, the only other guy would be Matt Carson...I must state at this time, Miranda and Matt were mentioned above. I think Nady will hit #3, and even though I hate the idea of hitting behind a slow runner, Brett/Justin/Matt will hit #9. Rocco was on the cusp of becoming a smi-great ball player...but, I would pass on him. As for A-Jax, I really think it depends on the rest of this season and ST. Defensively he is good enough and even though he has not shown great hitting in the MiL, the rest of his game may be able to support a .270 hitter. He would be an up grade of Melky, but will end up in AAA. 27/08?? Just for the hell of it, here goes.
