Dear Girardi: 1989 called and it wants its baseball analysis back

From CBS Sports - Moving Jeter down is not an option:
"I don't really see it happening. We still think he's a top of the order guy," Girardi told reporters Wednesday. "Look at the runs he's scored. His average is down a little bit, but ... he's on pace to score 115 runs, which is not too bad for a leadoff guy. I just think people are so used to seeing him have such great years offensively that when you're having a little bit of a down year and you're older, people's eyebrows go up."
Batting average? Runs? Little bit of down year? This logic is as outdated as Zack Morris' cell phone. It should be very simple.
The guy with the team-leading OBP of .389 should lead off.
The guy with the .331 OBP and only outperforming Francisco Cervelli should not.
Gardner at leadoff would make us so excited.
nomaas: my mistake for being critical of you earlier. I get tired of peeps knocking Girardi all the time. However, the point of this post is well received.
peace out
What happened to the rest of the comments here?
This is exactly like when Ben K replied to a commenter’s post, calling him a bad father because his 8 yr old enjoyed doing “the wave” (ZOMG!) at YS — and then deleted the entire thread out of embarrasment.
That 8 yr old: def not a consummate Yankee’s fan.
Girardi gives good head
Not with these braces I don’t.
We had server problems last night, and our host had to revert back to September 1st data. In other words, all of the comments were deleted because they were all made on September 2nd.
Girardi..Chicago calling…I hope you pick up the phone and answer.
