He's only swinging with his upper half. Either way, Gardner had another walk off hit today. That should be a good confidence booster.<BR/><BR/>Remember when Melky started this season, and jumped out to 7 homeruns real quick? I thought he was going to reach 20 this season. Just shows how quickly a season can fall apart for a young player. I do think he took his major league position for granted. I hope he learns from this, but right now I'm just hoping they give Moose a win tomorrow.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-18966365058161581932008-08-16T12:13:00.000-07:002008-08-16T12:13:00.000-07:00I didn't think Gardner was going to come up and be...I didn't think Gardner was going to come up and be the everyday CF, so it surprised me to hear that he's not just up since the minor league season is almost over and that he would be another pinch runner/defensive replacement. The guy could be really good, but he needs to work on his plate approach and especially his swing. You're supposed to actually use your body in your swing, kid. That said, he's a good fielder, decent arm, and terrific speed. Not something I'd give up on just yet.<BR/><BR/>Sending Melky down makes perfect sense to me. He was shocked to learn he'd been sent down, which leads me to believe that he'd taken his spot on the big league club for granted. He's been horrendous at the plate and doesn't have enough speed to hang around. You shouldn't be able to have a .296 OBP in 401 at-bats and remain in the big leagues. He's 4th outfielder at best right now. What I'm hoping this will do is snap Cano to life, but that doesn't appear to be the case just yet, as his sloppy, nonchalant play in the field continued today. Difference is he's got a big league contract, so the only other thing to do is rip him a new one on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>The move I don't quite understand is Ransom for Sexson. Yes, Sexson was expendable, but it's not really an upgrade. Ransom's glove might be better than Betemit, but Sexson did his job here in the field and against lefties at the plate. So I just shrug at that move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-77596067140348239182008-08-16T10:35:00.000-07:002008-08-16T10:35:00.000-07:00I guess Cashman wants to give Gardner a shot to se...I guess Cashman wants to give Gardner a shot to see if he can survive in bigs,if not he really needs to trade a cf or chase a free agent....I think the move is not for the playoff,it's a try for next year.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-41689098821138876372008-08-16T08:00:00.000-07:002008-08-16T08:00:00.000-07:00Who would have thought the C & C boys would ha...Who would have thought the C & C boys would have their worst seasons of their young careers?
