I think it was time for Melky to have some time off the past few games.  Girardi and the Yanks may want to think about a more permanent time away for the milk man.  I was excited at one time for some youth in the lineup, which I still am for.  Someone took chances on Jeter and Bernie for example when they were young.  I don't see any improvement with Melky Cabrerra and unsure as to why Girardi is married to the idea of having him in the lineup daily.  I believe he has had his chance to shine.  I was actually suprised that he was not dealt during the recent trading time.  He doesn't hit.  He doesn't go to left field with pitches and always tries to jerk them over the short porch in right.  The speed he does possess is not utilized due to his propensity for flying out.  He is a liability injury wise to himself when on the bases.  We need no other injuries at this point in the season.  In my opinion he is an average outfielder.  I guess the tone of this post suggests that I am not a big fan of Melky and wonder why the Yankees are.
