BRETT GARDNER RUMORS
Player Profile #82: Brett Gardner | OF | NYY
Generally I’m not a huge fan of steals-only players unless they play shortstop, and Brett Gardner is painfully close to being just that. However, I can’t get over how in 2010 he ranked 38th overall thanks to his 97 runs scored. And that’s exactly what Gardner can be if the Yankees wake up and bat him at the top instead of Derek Jeter. In 2011, Gardner had 230 at...

Brett Gardner Player Projection No. 72
Key Stats: Gardner is drafted for stolen bases, runs scored, and more stolen bases, all of which he should supply plenty of batting in the Yankees lineup. He does what someone with speed should do, which is keep the ball on the ground, but he has also been able to increase the rate he hits line drives each year he has been in the majors, which you won't find anyone complaining...

Yankees “Big” On Yoenis Cespedes
Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was set to be one of this offseason’s biggest targets, thanks to his five-tool potential and the success he had last season in the Cuban league.
After defecting his free agency was put on hold as he attempted to establish residency in the Dominican Republic. Now that he has completed that, Cespedes is likely to be granted free agency any day, which...

Yankees 2011 Season in Review: Brett Gardner
Even though he was drafted in the third round of the playoffs, Brett Gardner was never a highly touted prospect. The College of Charleston product worked his way through the system nonetheless and was in the major leagues to stay by the 2009 season. He was a regular outfielder the following year and good enough that Brian Cashman cited him as justification to not pursue All...

Where the 2011 Yankees Roster stands in 2012 – Left Field
For a player that hits lead off a lot, Brett Gardner didn’t hit for a high average. He batted .259 and had 87 runs scored. He also struck out 93 times.
Gardner doesn’t have corner-outfield power as evidenced by his seven home runs and 36 RBI but he played an excellent Gold Glove left field. He can track down a plethora amount of balls in the outfield.
Gardner is one of...

How Safe is Brett Gardner’s Job?
New York Yankees fans know all too well that Brett Gardner has been struggling mightily so far this season. Additionally, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of fantasy baseball managers are aware of his struggles as well. After making a lot of fans in 2010 with his peskiness, speed, defense and fantasy profit (Gardner was a FA pickup in most leagues), Gardner has done the...
