Because Girardi thinks that AJ will be more comfortable on the mound with Cody Ransom playing SS.

With Jeter out of the way, Girardi said that AJ will fill comfortable enough even with Jorge behind the plate.

So, it's...


Molina and his 49 OPS+ out

Posada and his 120 OPS+ in...


Jeter and his 129 OPS+ out

Cody Ransom and his 53 OPS+ in....



I'm not sure how they managed to get Cody on to the roster, but kudos to them for doing what's right for AJ.

I know, and I mentioned it in the post above yours... the other option for a close OPS+ was Kevin Cash, but ultimately they decided to go with Ransom at SS.

Are they going to go with Hinske at 1st as well?

Nope... the discrepancy in OPS+ is not large enough to assuage AJ's fears of throwing a baseball...

It doesn't seem like it's a big deal in the minds of the fans on here...

Tip of the cap to Girardi for a solid move.

How many times are you going to do a different version of this same thread, Steve?  This is at least 3 by my count.  The Yankees could bat the pitcher instead of the DH in this series and still win easily.

Well I guess that I feel differently than you do. I don't think that nay series is a walk in the park, and therefore I want my best team out there every single time. I think it's absurd to sacrifice Jorge's offense because of a supposed "level level" of a pitcher who is no guarantee to do any better with Molina.

And the reason for this thread was in response to all the replies like yours... my question is, at what point would it be deemed too much to do for a pitcher's comfort level? How about if we swap A-Rod for Ramiro Pena too? I'm just wondering where that cutoff point is.
