09/22: Melk-Man...Needs to Sit
Posted by: James
Not including today, here's Melky over the last 34 games: .213/.279/.252/.531. Over the last 15 games? Even worse - .150/.212/.183/.395 in 60 ABs. You gotta sit him down.
All of Yankee-dom knows that when Melky is cold, he's ICE COLD. He's just not helping the team right now - play Damon in CF (.260/.311/.439/.750 over the same time period) and Matsui/Duncan in left and give Melky a couple extra days with Kevin Long.
Update: Naturally, he makes me look silly by going 3 hits and 5 RBI in the 7th, 8th and 10th today. Still, he's been putrid outside of today so let's hope today is the start of one of his hot streaks because when he's going good, he's easily one of the most fun players on this team to watch.
