Who will be the Yankees starting LF?

jbone17 · Jan 16, 2010

Some guy at the card show today said Yankees Prospect Colin Curtis will be the Yankees starting LF in April. I have seen Curtis play, but he is not that damn good. This guy is nuts in the head right? I see Gardner playing LF. Here are his stats. His AFL was fantastic, but reg season = ::facepalm::

im good with gardner

I would be happy with him batting around .280 and stealing around 40-50 bases

he can do that

Yes he can and Curtis was solid in Trenton when I saw him, but if they didn't bring A-Jax up; what makes you think this kid has a shot? My logic behind it. I like Gardner better as well.

Again, I will reiterate

WHO?

I haven't ever heard a peep of this guys name and I'm a pretty big Yankee fan. I guess i've been living under the proverbial rock as I have no clue who this dude is. I like Gardner and I wouldn't mind seeing him get the nod. I would like to see the BA pick up a bit but overall I've been fairly impressed with his game play and work ethic.

You are not living under a rock this guy either owns a stash of this player or is smoking some serious imagination drugs.

rocco baldelli or eric Byrnes if they sign baldelli hell be platoonin w/ gardner so if opning day their playing a lefty pitcher expect baldelli in

P_Manning 18 · Jan 17, 2010

Yea I agree with Byrnes.... if he is healthy the Yankees would be nuts to pass him by... he is still getting paid by the D-Backs for 2010 right??

Canocollector#1 · Jan 17, 2010

I think Gardner will platoon with Baldelli.

beefycheddar · Jan 17, 2010

Damon.

sportscardtheory · Jan 17, 2010

There's probably a hundred free agents still available and there are 3 months until spring training. I'm sure they will find someone.

Jonny Gomes

I read somewhere that they only wanted to spend 2 mil. on a left fielder. That counts Damon out. The article said they were looking at Reed Johnson or Baldelli. Now that Byrnes is available, I think he would be a great fit.

CAROLINA BOSOX · Jan 17, 2010

Brett Gardner will continue to impress, the guy just works too hard.

No problem with that. In fact that would be pretty strong.

henderson939 · Jan 17, 2010

I think Nady will be a Yankee. Hell be cheap and he has something to prove. I dont think anyone has signed him yet?

vwnut13 · Jan 17, 2010

Say NO to Baldelli

He hasn't played in more than 92 games in the last four years.
Also, isn't he a injury train wreck.

Say YES to Gardner!

He was hitting at .275 before he broke his thumb.
He hit two homeruns, on in Toronto and one in Citi field that would have been no boubters in Yankee Stadium.

This kid has speed, can loft a ball into the stands, and he has hit an inside the park HR.

I can see Gardner legitimately see gardner becoming a .295/.370, 10HR kind of player if he gets to play a full season.
______________

I honestly am not sure if I would rater have Granderson in left and Gardner in Center or vice versa.

There arms are both rated the same, and I think Gardner could cover more ground than Granderson.
Some have said that Granderson's CF defense has became worse, and playing left field in Yankee Stadium you have plent of ground you can cover.
