Who's in Center?

Save the money and prospects and give this guy a shot. If not, I'm sure Austin Jackson could be a good player.

The Yankees are trying to figure out who's going to play center next season because obviously Melky Cabrera can't do it. He's never been great, but he didn't take a big step forward this season. Actually, he took a step back. What makes him different from Jeff, who I talked about earlier? Frenchy has had quite a bit of success before this season. Otherwise, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume Cabrera could be a decent outfielder for someone.

Anyway, they talked about Nate McLouth (bad idea for the Pirates to trade him), David DeJesus (he's not spectacular and would cost more money and prospects), and Matt Kemp (who may not play center for too much longer). Honestly, they should probably just stick with Brett Gardner. I realize his .190/.250/.255 line isn't great, but he's been very good over the past week. Plus, he's a very good defensive outfielder (did you see that catch?). He also has quite a bit of speed that would give them a leadoff hitter for the first time since well ... a while.
