Law: Yanks Should Stick With Gardner

ESPN's Keith Law talked about the Yankees left field situation today and he thinks the Yanks should stick with Brett Gardner. Here's more:

Either Nady or Johnson represent marginal improvements that may not justify the cost. Neither is really a full-time player. Johnson is strictly a platoon player, and can back up Granderson, but they have Gardner for that. Nady, even when healthy, was a platoon guy until '08. I'm not a Gardner guy, never have been, but their offense is fine even if they put a pointed stick in left field (if the ball hits the stick, the batter is out). So why not play for defense a little with the cheap guy in-house? Eventually, some other option will emerge and there's no reason for the Yanks to spend money on left field simply for the sake of spending money.

I pretty much agree with everything he said, especially with the two other players mentioned. Also, that other option he's referring to could turn out to be Carl Crawford, so it might be in the Yankees best interests to wait around and see if he becomes available. That said, I still wouldn't be against the Yankees bringing in one more bat just in case.
