You might want to pick up a Baseball Weekly or NY Post or something once in a while and see what is going on.
The New York Post!?!?!?!?!:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
The New York Post has as much credibility as The Star...and that's an insult to The Star.
I don't know if you live in the NY area, but those of us who do DON'T get our sports from the NY Post.
The Yanks want Bernie because he is CLUTH in the playoffs. And because he was impossible to move in the final year of his very large contract. They want him rested and healthy for the October run. That means only playing 120 games or so this regular season in center field. DH'ing the rest of the time.
Do you watch the Yankees?
Bernie Williams does not want to DH.
Bernie Williams numbers are awful as a DH.
The ONLY reason that Bernie is playing CF is to appease him. The Yankees are much better defensively with Matsui in CF and anyone else in LF...and that is not up for debate.
I have never heard of a team who wants only to play someone 120 games so that they could keep him rested for the playoffs...that is laughable.Where is the guarantee for the playoffs?
Why not only play him in 80 games...so he could even be more rested.
Check the stats...
Bernie Williams has been a detriment to the NY Yankees for almost all of the past two seasons.
Joe Torre has become his only positive mouthpiece.
Cashman doesn't want him anymore...but has no choice since he is being overpaid.
If you live in the NY area, then go get the NY Times and read their sports column...if you don't live in the NY area then sigh up to the Times via the internet.
