This guy sounds more and more like Torre.

"Joe Girardi called Johnny Damon into the office this morning to get a feel for his opinion on batting second, and Damon reacted positively. Girardi said he would experiment with the idea this week, but likes Damon's ability to pull the ball and hit in situations."

"Hit in situations."

Two outs and nobody on is a situation. Bases loaded and no outs is also a situation. They're all situations.


Yeah, I know what he means. He's envisioning a hit-and-run with a lefty batter instead of a hit-and-run with a righty batter.

The difference between Jeter/Damon and Damon/Jeter will be neglibigle.

Just get on base for Teixeira and Posada, huh?
