Gardner’s speed will play a big role, if he gets on base. You can’t steal first.

I just want tat guy to start. He is better then alot of other people in the league, and his speed is something the yankees need in their lineup to be a second leadoff hitter at the bottom of the order. Commish,

It would be one heck of an outfield in 2011 if they add Crawford. I think Gardner should start in left and not center, for now, but you never know how things turn out. Eddie,

I think the Yankees should give Brett Gardner a chance as a starter. He is young, fast, and has a great glove. Instead of putting Brett Gardner in Left Field, I would start him in center and move Curtis Granderson to left field. Plus, they wouldn't have to spend any money and next year they can sign Carl Crawford as a right fielder. Billy, they are not going to get Matt Holliday because they want Carl Crawford a million times more then they want Matt Holiday. Back to the Brett Gardner talk, ok, so he won the starting center spot last year but didn't play because he was hurt. He is a good guy on the field and can only get better. Just imagine the 2011 season with Curtis Granderson in Left, Brett Gardner in Center, and Carl Crawford in right. Plus after the 2011 season the yankees can cut ties with Nick swisher because he will cost 11+ million after that, his contract will only cost 500,000 to get rid of after 2011 and that sounds alot better then 11+ mill for a backup to Curtis, Carl, and Brett.

This whole off-season the yankees couldnt stress fielding and the age of there core group enough. Signing Dye would go against both because Gardner is younger and is a whole lot better defensively then dye. Dye had an off year in 2009 and he could be on the decline. I think Cashman will lay off Dye and sign someone else or maybe trade for another LF. I have heard rumors that the yanks could trade for david dejesus and play him in LF. But i think the yankees need another legitimite power bat to protect Alex Rodriguez because i dont think swisher, posada, or cano can bat 5th. Matt Holliday would be perfect to a 4 year deal because he would fit perfectly in left field and can be a 30+ HR and bat above .300. No the yankees will not sign Jermaine Dye.

I believe it’s time the Yankees give Gardener a chance. He has tremendous speed and range and could be a plus for the team. Only time will tell and that’s what he needs.

He is 37 and he should be a DH and not a LF. The Yankees need to give Gardner a chance. No way I would get Dye if I were the Yankees. He is 37 and he should be a DH and not a LF.
