Nope, ain't got to many learning's but, I ain't buying that...not yet anyhow. Besides, I still want him to earn most of the playing time in CF, is this all an aberration? Is his game up to the rigors of the majors? We will have all winter to critique his game or hash out the new guy they bring in. I do like the outfield of A-Jax-LF, Brett-CF, Swisher-RF, a little power and a little speed...good mix. What do you do with the rest of the line-up?

I also said that as long as Melky was hitting as he was (a few weeks ago) he should play CF, it looks as though those days are over. Having Brett batting 9th (no black hole at .289+/-) is great for Jeter and Johnny, they will see a lot of fastballs if Brett is on base. Next year we could be seeing an OF of A-Jax, Brett and Swisher. With Pena, Cervelli and Brett we have guys that know how to use their talents to help the team build runs (as you said). All teams need the power hitters but, the winning teams have found a way to mix the power with the little ball and great pitching.

I think from a power hitting standpoint, Cash is right but, I like everything else that Brett brings to the game. "Speed kills", old saying but, true...another one is "Defence is a pitchers best friend, other then a DP". Balls that Melky is running to make a fabulous catch on, Brett would be there for it to come to him. Starting pitching is the name of the game, get those guys turned around and things should work out fine. Killing a BP is not the way to win a lot of close games, nor championships.

Not sure I agree with that one; I'm starting to think Gardner is the one who should be starting in CF on a regular basis.
