He is very good in left. He did make the best catch I've ever seen while playing center. DeRosa was in left, Woody in the bullpen sitting right by the fence where Reed went headlong into it.

btw, those rates I mentioned for Fuld are OPS

Makes sense. I do recall noticing that RJ's centerfield UZR numbers are not good. I believe he's best in left field.

B, no, it wouldn't.

Fuld has no platoon split (.040 benefit in minors, .125 reverse in the majors).

UZR projections have Reed at -5 and TotalZone at -10 in center field. Since they're about equal against lefties (I'll concede Johnson only a small edge) you're just giving up what could be a huge amount of defense for virtually no added offense.

I understand why you have Fuld in the "not good" category. But would that change at all if you platooned Sammy with, say, Reed Johnson? Would that bump him (er, them) up into "acceptable"?

Yeah, Gardner probably won't give you much in terms of offense. He's as fast as anyone in the majors, though. He'll get on base, but he doesn't have much power at all. Seems like the Yankees highly value his defense and speed, and it doesn't look like they're even entertaining the thought of moving him.

The consensus appears to be plus on D, but not much at the plate. He takes a lot of pitches (too many), doesn't have much pop, makes plenty of contact when he does swing. He has plus speed, too.

I'd say he's "acceptable" with the bonus of being cheap and under control.

HP, what do you think of Brett Gardner? Melky's probably the one the Yankees want to trade though.
