"Asked why Brett Gardner started in left field against Boston on Sunday in Fort Myers, with Melky Mesa in center, Girardi revealed Gardner likely will shift back from center to left once Curtis Granderson broken forearm) returns from the DL. The Yanks, Girardi said, don’t want Granderson to try learning a new position during regular-season games or for such a switch to affect his hitting."
At Yankee Stadium, May regular-season games are kinda like Spring Training games.
"Girardi added he’s considered various outfield permutations in Granderson’s absence — involving Gardner in either center or left — depending on who makes the team among Mesa, Juan Rivera, Matt Diaz, Zoilo Almonte and Ronnier Mustelier."
Golly, I hope the flip-flop doesn't affect Gardner's hitting.
