don't fear for DeSalvo - hopefully Yankee management is not foolish enough to think that this guy has any future in major league baseball. When someone comes off the DL, he'll go back down - hopefully it happens before luck catches up with him.

at least torre might get fired soon

lets take a look at the yankee lineup by obp:

.359, damon
.313, abreu
.447, jeter
.411, arod
.397, giambi
.391, matsui

is there any defense for this at all? i realize that abreu is playing way worse than anyone could ever expect, but at a certain point when you have a lineup like this you CANNOT HAVE A .313 OBP HITTER BATTING SECOND. I know that lineup order usually only has a small impact on run production, but that is a pretty major differential, I'd be interested if there was a way of quantifying it. Something is obviously wrong with him, over the course of his career he has walked slightly over 10% of the time, and before today he want 14 games and 58 ABs without a walk. Historically there is a 90% chance of him walking in every AB, and .9 ^ 58 = .0022, or a .22% chance of him not walking once over 58 ABs, or am I mistaken?

torre will not be fired... not after the clemens signing

honestly the impact is very, very small

leave him in there to work out whatever is wrong

LOL @ saying batting Abreu 2nd is indefensible.

Might as well bench A-Rod in the playoffs while you're at it!

i love how abreu has like 5 million AB's with a 400+ OBP and after 160 people think hes awful.

riding out these bad streaks is one spot where old school managers seem to get it right.
