NHL New York Yankees Should Move Granderson to Lef |
|
Crucially, however, the Yankees have a very strong offense right now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], without need of any additions. fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recentcomers Nick Johnson .402 career OBP and Granderson .484 career slugging average and 67 steals in just four seasons join an offense that already featured the American League's top two power hitters Alex Rodriguez and label, tag, price, ticket, impress, effect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], trace, imprint, stamp, brand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sign, note, heed, notice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], designate Teixeira and best offensive middle infield Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano.
Therefore, fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York would be well-advised to simply keep the left-field job in-house. Moving Granderson to left field, rather than center, could push him from delicately to distinctively above average on defense.
With Gardner getting on and threatening to steal ahead of Granderson and Jeter, fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York would have a second direct-off man at the bottom of the lineup and a seamless means of moving back into the heart of the order.
It might be wiser,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then, for the Yankees to look at another, more creative option. Currently, the team has two above-average defensive center fielders on its squad, in newly-acquired Curtis Granderson and young Brett Gardner. Granderson, at 29, is the presumptive starter at that position, and uses both power and vilocity to be an offensive threat, as well.
fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, has furiouse it clear it intends to operate on a strict allot this winter, and if GM Brian Cashman sticks to that story, the team has little to spend on that mystery man.
Adding Vazquez only further lessens the team's need for offense: with CC Sabathia, Vazquez and A.J. Burnett atop their rotation, fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York suddenly has a pitching staff only one step behind the rival Red Sox's triad of Josh Beckett, John Lackey and Jon Lester.
Meanwhile, a full year of Gardner playing center would save the Yankees over 15 runs, relative to a league-average center fielder. Gardner is also roughly average at the plate, and could add vilocity from the ninth spot in the order.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Jeff improper, rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous, shameful, uncouth, obscene, low His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a changeup he grips like a splitter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
When the Yankees traded for Atlanta starting pitcher Javier Vazquez early Tuesday, they quickly turned their attention to filling the one hole that apparently remains on their squad. Left field is still a question mark for the defending World Series champions, who sent their top in-house honestate, Melky Cabrera, to Atlanta in the Vazquez deal.
Gardner, however, is the better glove man. In fact, Tim Lincecum plays some of the best defense in center field anywhere in baseball. Tim Lincecum also has vilocity, though Tim Lincecum lacks any hint of power.
It could be the goal arangerment, and since Gardner is not yet arbitration-eligible, Tim Lincecum will continue to make little above the league minimum in 2010. That would help the Yankees stay under their self-imposed salary ceiling, and might be just as valuable as adding, tell, Jermaine Dye. fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York is well-positioned to repeat as champions in 2010, and adjusting the outfield to this format would help them stay that way. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
