The Yanks called up Justin Christian from AAA. 18-for-21 in SBs. He's in the starting lineup tonight in LF. No corresponding move announced yet.

What's the Hype Machine's take?

Interesting move. He can also play second base, but hasn't in a while. Can't really hit, but has ben hot lately and can run almost as well as Gardner.

He's a poor mans Gardner. They probably figure they want Gardner to play everyday, but want an excellent pinch runner who can play OF, so they figure he is a happy medium.

My concern is Melky Cabrera is not hitting at all, and this isn't a guy that can compete with him for a starting job like Gardner is.

I just heard it was Traber, but Christian isn't on the 40-man. They probably moved Hughes or Wang to the 60-day DL.

They only had 38 or 39 men on the 40 man roster after White got taken off.

Part of the reason for this too is because of the double switches in the NL park.

Apparently Damon and Matsui can't play the field. They wanted Gardner to get the most possible playing time in AAA and not have him sit on the bench here.

Didn't I tell everyone Traber wouldn't be up here more than a week?

People were overreacting about him being called up.

This guy sucks and to have him starting at the same time as Melky in a National League park is a joke. That's three auto-outs, four if you count Can0. We'll be lucky to scratch out a run. <_<
