The Melkman goeth

The Melky Cabrera...er...era is over?

So, all those reports over the weekend that Damon won't be returning might have been a tad premature as I really can't see the Yankees going with a Gardner/Hoffman (Rule 5) platoon.

I'll miss Melky. He really had no business being the Yankees starting CFer and even less so as a corner outfielder. He was a streaky hitter, and by "streaky," I mean he tended to hit in April and May, not so much the rest of the season. But he had the only functioning throwing arm in the Yankees outfield, could work a walk, and he was a fun kid in the clubhouse. He was Mutt to Cano's Jeff.
