Sexson was just released (no bid deal) but they also optioned Melky to the minors. Cody Ransom (a name I know is going to strike fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers) and Brett Gardner (aka Yankee bloggers second coming of Christ) will be coming up to replace them on the 40-man.

It's not secret I'm a big Melky fan. I hope that this team enjoys watching Johnny Damon attempt to play center. Gardner, in his brief time up with the big club, wasn't hitting any better than Melky was. He's a pinch runner at best imho.

Oh well. Not sure why I care, other than I continue to wonder why the Yankee #9 hitter is still the scapegoat for an entire team of underachievers.
