50 Basis Points

I have been expressing concern for our rookie, Bird, and his injured foot.

The Yankees, in my view, rushed him back for yesterday's game.

I do understand that Carter is not physically fit to play 162 games, given that he was 

signed as a back-up.  

So Bird, naturally, told everyone, " I'm ready.  I'm good."  Otherwise, we'll be seeing Romine at

 first ( with Beltran out of the picture).

Let's hope he is an honest young man,  and understands the implications of a nagging and lingering injury, as opposed to toughing his way through another game at the stadium.

If he is 100% healthy, then I will happily shut-up about that.

However, he went 0-4 with 3 strike outs.  I didn't get to see them, but strike outs rarely make a player look good.

He is hitting .050

In my terms, that is 50 basis points.  Like what Banks now pay on your Savings.

Something ain't right.
