Well, this has been coming for a long time. I think it would have happened sooner, except Brett Gardner just didn't hit when he was called up.
They've decided to go with Gardner anyway. Melky Cabrera has been sent down to Scranton. Brett Gardner is now the Yankees' center fielder.
Poor Melky apparently didn't see it coming. He was totally blindsided when they told him. It must have been a real shock. He's been the Yankees' CFer for three years.
Melky will probably be back when rosters expand in September.
Richie Sexson has been released. They called up Cody Ransom to take his place. I think they realized that Betemit's glove cannot be trusted in any position, let alone SS.
