Always has demonstrated a lot of power and he will hit a lot of HRs at Yankee Stadium. He strikes out too much, like everybody else. The rather prominent predictions of a batting title seem fairly ridiculous, but so are lots of predictions.
Bird is young and cheap.
He hasn't accomplished nearly as much as several other Baby Bombers and I suspect a 14 at-bat hot streak is just a bad hitter having a good 14 at-bats.
Having said that, Lou Gehrig is not sitting on the bench awaiting his turn.
There is simply no reason for the Yankees to not stick with Bird.
