Yeah, Girardi should start Gardner. He'd be a good no.9 hitter in our lineup, of course he would add speed ato an explosive lineup which only adds another demention to the offense. We all know though that Girardi is going to make it a competition for the starting left field position BUT don't be surprised if Granderson becomes the everyday left fielder. If you ask me I'd say Winn comes off the bench and have Gardner partol centerfield and have Granderson patrol left field.

Thank you, yea i just think that Mauer ending up with the Yankees or Red Sox is just wrong, and it taints the sport a lil bit bc all of the smaller market teams(like the twins) would be missing out on their homegrown players and i cant stand yankee fans that say well i cant wait for posada to leave to go get mauer, and im like are u kidding me, posada is the man! lol I cant wait for the duo of posada for 4 games a week, then montero the others, its gonna b outstanding
