| 30th March, 2009 - 8:44 am | New York Times - The Yankees have decided that Brett Gardner will start over Melky Cabrera in center field to begin the season.
"We're going to start with Gardy in center," manager Joe Girardi said. "Both of them played great. Melky had a tough year last year, but he came into camp and was ready to go and played well. Gardy finished up strong and had a great camp."
Gardner and Cabrera received an equal chance in spring training, with just one at-bat separating them.
Gardner is 20 for 52 (.385) and Cabrera is 18 for 53 (.340), while each has scored 10 runs and walked six times. [READ] |
