As Michael Kay would say, "See ya!"

"Enrique Wilson does not want to return to the Yankees next season. Wilson, a reserve infielder for the Yankees the last four years, did not start against Pedro Martínez, whom he hits well, for the second time this week. He has started one game this month, during a doubleheader on Sept. 9.

'I'm going to wait until the season's over and move on,' said Wilson, who will be a free agent. 'It's my choice to come back or not. I know there are a lot of teams out there that need a guy that can play every position.'

Wilson has a .440 career average against Martínez and started against him in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series last fall.

But Miguel Cairo has taken over as the full-time second baseman, and Wilson is batting .216 in 89 games.

'You want to play,' Wilson said. 'It's tough when you don't play at all. You feel like you're not on the team.'
