What would the Yankees do?

Question

Matsui hits a home run in his first rehab start and looked very sharp in the outfield, when he comes back who will not play and play bench?

Damon???Nady???Gardner???

Answer 1

Since he is recovering from a knee problem, Hideki should DH, Damon should return to CF, and Nady take over LF.   Gardner will be optioned back to the minors.

Answer 2

I think that they will DH Matsui to keep his legs healthy and his bat in the lineup. Gardner in center, Damon in left and Nady in right. Giambi will play first which isnt great for your defense but they need the bats because the starters have been hurt or struggled.

Answer 3

Definately Gardner because Damon's hitting .319, Nady came in a trade so he'd be a waste, and Gardner's young plus the SWB yankees are in the AAA playoff push. The New York Yankees are still a good distance out behind the Sox and Rays. That's just my opinion.  

Answer 4

Gardner would sit the bench, nady in right damon in center matsui in left and bobby dh

Answer 5

Obvious choice would be Gardner, but after what he did today, he is definitely threatening to stay, and forcing Matsui into the DH spot.

Answer 6

Some fans may not want to hear this, but the Yankees have little chance to make the playoffs this year and they've started to look to the future.  The future is Gardner, Nady and Damon, not Matsui or Cabrera.
