[新聞] Yanks could make Damon everyday CF

[subcrew02 (Te Extrano ``)]

MINNEAPOLIS -- Johnny Damon said that he should do a better job of inspecting
the lineup card each day to confirm that he is actually in it. Now, he
probably should double check what position he's playing.
Damon returned to the Yankees' lineup, playing center field on Tuesday after
a surprise night off, when manager Joe Girardi elected to rest the American
League's leading hitter in favor of rookie Justin Christian.

Having played in 17 consecutive games, Damon had walked past the posted sheet
on Monday, expecting that he would be in as the Yankees opened their
three-game series against the Twins at the Metrodome. He wasn't, and had to
hear the news from the media.

"I shouldn't automatically assume that I'm in the lineup every single day,"
Damon said. "I know he wants to rest me, and it's been working out fine all
year. I'm having a pretty good year, and he's been able to protect me and
rest me and make sure I stay healthy. Last night was just one of those days
where, unfortunately, I had to find out from [reporters] instead of looking
at the lineup."

As it turned out, Damon never got into the Yankees' 4-0 loss to Minnesota,
while Christian took an 0-for-4. Damon's left shoulder has received some
protection since an A-C sprain on July 4 cost him 10 games, but this was more
about guarding him from three straight games on the artificial turf at the
Metrodome, including an early day game on Wednesday.

"I think [Damon] can play on a regular basis for us," Girardi said. "I am not
concerned. I think he's healthy enough now to play for us on a regular basis,
as long as he keeps from running into walls with his left shoulder."

That shoulder showed improvement during the Yankees' series in Arlington and
even withstood a collision with the wall at Angel Stadium over the weekend, a
lucky blow for those who feared Damon might return to square one.

Girardi put Damon -- batting .322 entering Tuesday's play -- back into center
field, supplanting the long-slumping Melky Cabrera, who has three hits in his
past 22 at-bats and may be bumped from starting duty.

"We feel that Johnny is healthy enough to play center field for us," Girardi
said. "You run a little bit more, maybe, but every position is demanding.
We're going to try to put our best lineup on the field every day. We'll look
at it every day. For Johnny, I think playing center field is like riding a
bike. I don't think it's a tough adjustment."

Damon said that he was thankful that Girardi has been cautious with his
shoulder, and while advance notice is certainly not required for a day off,
it would be appreciated.

"As a player, you would like that, but the manager is the one that calls the
shots," Damon said. "Maybe he didn't think about it until he got to the
ballpark. He normally lets me know. As players, you know there might be some
guys that came here today not knowing if they were playing or not. It's part
of the game."

Increased time in center field for Damon would relegate Cabrera to
fourth-outfielder status, with Xavier Nady starting regularly in left field
and Bobby Abreu in right field. The 24-year-old Cabrera was 0-for-3 on Monday
and is hitting .243 with eight home runs and 36 RBIs in 115 games.

"You know, you watch him do his work and the work is good," Girardi said.
"You watch his preparation, and at times, he's a little overanxious. At
times, he's run into some bad luck. It's been a tough couple of months for
Melky. ... The bottom line is I think he's better than what he's produced. I
really do. We all believe that. For whatever reason, it's a tough year for
him."

推 willie666666:Melky sucks 大家太高估他了 他只有肩膀其他都sucks
→ willie666666:無論是速度 或者是防守判斷上 Damon都比他還好太多
→ willie666666:還會跟觀眾打招呼導致error 這種球員不要也罷
推 meier0112:樓上是拿年輕的damon來比吧
推 sychang:現在的Damon仍然狂電牛奶好嗎? 受不了.....
推 meier0112:現在也只有好一些,沒到狂電..受不了
推 meier0112:小卡布跟jeter今年防守確實進步了,鄉民不願相信的事實

推 willie666666:樓上 現在也只有好一些 也是比Melky好 你很矛盾

推 cardfat:Damon今年CF的數據其實挺糟的
推 cardfat:他的臂力也很慘 今天第2局兩隻SF可以讓人從2B跑回來
推 meier0112:我只是在回應你說damon比卡布好太多.哪裡矛盾
→ meier0112:而且在說防守你提打擊坐啥,而且damon今年速度變慢了
推 willie666666:臂力很慘這點我承認 但是一個年輕小伙子跟一個大叔
→ willie666666:比速度也輸 沒長大ops還只有.636 叫人怎麼期待
推 meier0112:樓上,我是對你在防守上的評論..
推 willie666666:就防守而言 今年inn 牛奶932.7 大門67 樣本差太多
→ willie666666:請問你們怎麼做比較的? 靠感覺?
推 meier0112:MLB板有zone防守數據,你可以拿今年小卡布跟跟大門之前
→ meier0112:大門去年(樣本數小)跟前年成積做比較
推 willie666666:我照樓上的方法去mlb板翻leddy大的數據
→ willie666666:leddy有直接下評語 Melky守備範圍小 評價差 大門平均
→ willie666666:確實沒有好太多 可是也有好一點 更何況一個是大叔
→ willie666666:結論就是 Melky sucks!!!
推 meier0112:你對Melky果然恨意很深,那評語是07年,你沒看08年的數據
推 willie666666:就tht的數據 還有防守範圍 Melky是低於聯盟水準的
→ willie666666:就算不談論Damon 他也不應該成為NYY的CF
→ willie666666:畢竟這裡是邪惡帝國 穿的是條紋衣 並不是運動家等隊
→ willie666666:新秀養歸養 但就Melky這點來說 真的太難令人接受
→ willie666666:我是積怨已久 XDDD 今年除了Nady以外 洋基球員 唉
→ willie666666:有誰能令人滿意? 躺dl的松井? 該是大換血的時候了!
推 willie666666:內外野防守都低於平均 基本功墊底 真辛酸
推 meier0112:就tht的數據小卡布防守已進步到跟大門相比
→ meier0112:且Melky因為外野的傷兵才會推上火線,現金人也不願意阿
推 willie666666:這點我知道 但是大門的衰老是可以預期的
→ willie666666:可是Melky呢 他今年什麼鳥?
→ willie666666:至於先發問題 我覺得現金人跟教練都很願意
→ meier0112:松井贊助小卡布上場時間大的多XD
→ willie666666:就算他們不願意 除了最近讓Damon回先發cf 根本沒作為
→ willie666666:btw 想問一下 明年有cf大物嗎 或者是合約年的?
→ meier0112:因為好的CF實在很難找..
→ willie666666:話說 隔壁之前不是拼命想丟COCO 我還寧願看COCO XDDD
→ meier0112:明年FA CF幾乎都低於聯盟水準..
推 raygod:Damon也沒少打多少場 能同時排Melky&Damon你會排誰當CF?
推 meier0112:後年 有Rick Ankiel
推 raygod:Damon不能上場時都是因為痛或進DL
推 meier0112:那樣Nady還沒來的時候,沒人守LF了
→ meier0112:這時你要排有傷是隱憂的大門守CF還是年輕的Melky
推 willie666666:就防守而言 我八成還是排Melky 但是打擊...
→ willie666666:每次看到他追打一些大壞球 擺短棒 一球死 真的很無言
推 meier0112:這兩年FA CF 唯一好物Ankiel..好物CF真的很稀少
推 willie666666:很可惜Gardner今年上來不符合期待
→ willie666666:不然一雙腿 AVG有個.29 打九棒至少不是自殺
推 meier0112:以Gardner的揮空率,我對他很難看好..
→ meier0112:只能期待Jackson了~希望他明年大爆發
推 willie666666:I hope so... 我們提到的這兩隻加Ian就打包帶走吧
推 meier0112:Melky目前很適合給外野老人痛痛輪休用,留下比較好
推 willie666666:好方法就是老人都不要再簽了 我們RF也是墊底 唉
推 meier0112:現在年輕力壯都被綁長約,FA簽來沒幾年都老人了..
推 cardfat:Melky的xBABIP是.303但BABIP只有.263 他應該要有2成8左右
→ cardfat:Girardi好像也講過類似的東東 如果說今年季末FA補的好
→ cardfat:洋基是可以別交易CF來 免的被獅子大開口
→ meier0112:其實Melky對右投還稍微能看.左投就很慘
推 willie666666:重點是他還是兩打 跟Betemit一樣 根本就是"假打"
推 meier0112:交易CF,好像也會被獅子大開口XD
→ meier0112:他右打的揮棒姿勢,根本就很奇怪..
推 willie666666:該開的始終要開 Tabata都丟了 沒什麼好奇怪的
→ meier0112:今年季末會缺一個OF,好物只有Dunn
推 willie666666:Dunn喔 我怎麼覺得他該去站1B了 XD
推 meier0112:沒辦法,FA OF 沒好料的.dunn下面就是阿布了
推 j094097:1B今年不簽的話 就是Posada要去站了
推 meier0112:可以預期的是,今年季末會很熱鬧
推 willie666666:那就續簽吧 Dunn很快就會變1B Posada就1B這位置來說
→ willie666666:簽這種約 很不划算 希望肩膀ok 還是乖乖回去當捕手吧
推 j094097:如果續簽I-Rod 明年投手會變三個~"~
推 willie666666:樓上想講的是 捕手 吧?
推 meier0112:投手三個可能沒辦法開季喔XD
推 j094097:阿對= = 我打錯字了
→ meier0112:Posada不能蹲會很麻煩,不能搶鐵爺orz
→ j094097:Posada要是堅持非蹲不可 那現金人會很頭大
推 willie666666:我覺得鐵爺續留天使機會大很多
→ j094097:剛打錯字自己竟然沒發現(淚奔
推 meier0112:不會拉,他的經紀人遠近馳名,不舉辦競標他不爽
推 j094097:跳出來試試看水溫
推 willie666666:其實被Bora$騙 跟清農場 也差不多了 XDDD
推 j094097:$ora$ 要有兩個錢才對XD   不過要看他開多大的約
推 siliver:鐵爺是穩出來的了,除非天使拿超大約砸暈他 :p
推 willie666666:反正 不是被天使暈 就是被洋基暈
→ siliver:反正,他和CC等著數鈔票就好,這是無庸置疑的.....
推 willie666666:CC今年再不簽下來 現金人應該很難跟大家交待
推 j094097:很怕隔壁來亂XD 可是又很想看怎麼亂
→ j094097:整個就是矛盾XDDDD
推 willie666666:隔壁應該不只亂 會搶 畢竟他們缺到連Byrd都換來了
推 siliver:的確是有可能,席琳老蝴蝶年紀都大了,也有可能不簽來搶CC
推 Zoomyoyo:我只能說 要搶鐵爺 除了鈔票 需要不少運氣 天使銀彈沒有
→ Zoomyoyo:比較少 人家續個約 砸個錢 加上今年狂電洋雞 哄一下 鐵爺
→ Zoomyoyo:就留下了 反正要來洋基不是沒機會 等老了再來XDDDDDDDDDD
→ Zoomyoyo:金逼哀
→ siliver:鐵爺背後的Boras不是被哄大的......不知道該說啥.....
