The Bronx is Vernon.

I'm not sure what options Girardi has until Granderson returns.  You play Wells in the hopes he snaps out of it.  Or I guess it couldn't be any worse to give Zoilo Almonte the starting LF job:

"In 56 June at-bats heading into Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Wells had only six hits — all singles. That is a .107 batting average and a .107 slugging percentage for the month. 


The numbers illustrate the difficulties Wells has been experiencing; he does not need to be reminded. 

'I don’t need to know the numbers,' he said before Thursday’s game. 'I know they’re terrible.'

Wells even had trouble against a pitching machine in the Yankees’ batting cage Thursday afternoon. He came to Yankee Stadium early to work with the hitting coach Kevin Long after he went hitless in both games of a split doubleheader Wednesday. The Yankees have a machine that cranks up the velocity to almost unhittable speed, and sure enough, it got the better of Wells."

Wells has about 9 hits in his last 90 at-bats.

The .300 April was quite optimistic, but he can't really be this bad, can he?
