Make room for Curtis.

Kevin Kernan notices the poor play of Gardner and Ichiro:

"Ichiro broke an 0-for-22 skid with a seventh-inning single and scored the Yankees second run, but struck out with the potential tying run on second to end the eighth. Gardner went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts and has five hits over his last 28 at-bats. Gardner singled in the ninth with one out and stole second and third against closer Tom Wilhemsen but Jayson Nix struck out and Robinson Cano grounded to short to end the game."


An unusual idea in Yankee Universe is that Wells ought to keep playing and Granderson ought to ride the pine.


Gardner's stats: 158 AB, .253/.324/.380, 3 HR, 7 2B, 2 3B, 20 R, 14 RBI, 16 BB, 40 K, 9 SB

Ichiro's stats:
134 AB, .239/.280/.328, 2 HR, 4 2B, 1 3B, 13 R, 8 RBI, 8 BB, 18 K, 5 SB


It's not Wells or Granderson in the Yankee outfield. It's Wells and Granderson.
