Yankees remain positive about Nady's elbow

via George King of the New York Post:The Yanks were privately a lot more optimistic by Sunday that Xavier Nady could avoid Tommy John surgery and that he might be able to return in June and form a righty-lefty DH platoon with Hideki Matsui. Of course, that would mean the Yanks were carrying two players who did not play the field, which hurts roster construction. Also, that is assuming that Matsui's fragile knees could last.King has it right. The Yankees should not have two designated hitters on the roster. I'm sure more details on Nady's status will be revealed this week. I still think he'll end up getting surgery and will miss the year, but I'm wondering if the Yankees will think about calling up Austin Jackson to replace Brett Gardner in order to add more power to the lineup.
