good for him. he has been putting up stats for awhile now.

i think he ends up getting traded though, as i just dont see a spot for him

He's a bench player at best. AAAA player.

A bit premature for that distinction. I would think that requires more than a few hundred cuts at AAA and zero at the MLB level before we throw that around. He had a horrible spring and a horrible April in AAA, but he has been ripping it up since then. Great to see him get a much deserved elevation with the injury problems the Yankees are having.

Every AAA guy has a label on him. Lets see him in th bigs for a bit and then talk about him later. I hope he rakes. I think he can

First action of his career tonight. Pinch hit for Jeter in the 7th and walked. Then came up again and singled home a run.

1-1 RBI R BB .... not a bad first night for Laird. He gets his first start tomorrow.
