Yanks Lose Series to Bad Team

Gardner lead of the game with yet another homer and things looks good.  Unfortunately,  Kuroda did not.   Later after it was 3-1, Gardner's clone, Ellsbury hit one, and things started to look good again.  But they were not. There were no more big hits.  

So tomorrow the Yanks have a day off.  And the front office should take one, too, unless they plan on selling or contracting Castillo.    Their best bet is to sign Castillo then hope for August help from Pineda and either Tanaka or farm auditions.  Call up Refsnyder to play second and Pirela  to help if he can't, as well as play other positions and be the super ute we need.   Then let's see what happens.  if they can string some together make a salary dump waiver trade in August for more pitching.   But get Castillo and call up the kids.   Plan ahead.

Everyone from Hal on down gets off from fooling their least intelligent fans.

Both Refsnyder and Pirella cant make it at 2nd with subpar defense.

Ref may not be ready to play second-base, although based on the little I saw of him there in Trenton he is close, except for the DP pivot, where he seems slow and unsure of himself. I can understand leaving him in AAA to work on this.

But call up Pirela and just plug him in at 2B. He will hit better than Roberts, and his fielding may not be very good, but Roberts is no "gold glover" either.

While you're at it, if Almonte can't get a long run in RF, then call up Adonis Garcia and plug him in. The man can hit.

Because Roberts' defense doesn't suck? It is offense/defense that matters, not defense in a vacuum.
