I would like him to be dropped down to sixth of the seventh spot. I can only hope he makes me eat these words and starts hitting like he did in 2009.
With that being said, it becomes a moot point if Swisher and Texiera don't start hitting as they numbers are terrible for the playoffs. Granderson needs to get going too. It's the best two out of three so we need to start playing a lot better.
Lets go YANKEES!!!!!
BTW - Texiera not scoring on a single to center was a real disappointment to me and I like him. He's a good dude. Proves that he is running like he has a piano on his back due to the injury. Third base coach didn't have the confidence to send him home.

TEx is hurting and he is doing the best he can. I would run for Tex in the late innings of a close game (Gardner) and then put Swish at 1B and Gardner in left...moving Ishiro to right. Yes, Granderson may be a home run threat but his average all year sucks. (Hello Dave Kingman, Adam Dunn) I'd rather he hit ten less HR's and hit forty points higher. I also noticed the Yankee hitters are taking lots of third strike calls. If its close swing the ****** bat.
