My take on the whole situation is that Melky is not going to be traded. The only reason Gardner got the call up is that Matsui and Damon are old, falling apart, and it seems like their days are numbered. I know they can still put up descent numbers but still when your sitting on the bench your not helping put a W on the board. If the Yankees trade Melky that means that a rookie goes in to play center field. We’ve seen Melky play in big game situations but not Gardner or Christians. Melky is in whats called a slump, we’ve seen other players such as, let me think…............. A-rod fall in the same situation. Everone was saying lets get rid of our no good-over payed third basemen. Melky has speed, power, and a good arm-glove. His numbers last year were good. If there are players to be trading they are Mike Mussina, Hideki Matsui, Gason Giambi, and Johnny Damon. All of witch are older then, lets say um 30. Trading young talent for pitchers is lets say stupid. Most of the older players I just talked about are in the final leg of their contracts. I see the Yankees going for talent in the off season. if the Yanks win the World Series this year it will be a act of faith and alot of praying. Not saying it can’t be done, just kind of seems far of. Look at the bright side, Carl Plavano could be back in August…...HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

and it should have worked in the Yankees minds 1 no, 2 no, 3 no, thats right 4 years ago. I’m glad that will free up roster and cap space for our next All Star calliber player.
