It Makes Some Sense
There have been many lead off batters who do not fit the mold of a “traditional” lead off batter. Bernie Williams can join that group and help the Yankees offense.

Not So Bad?
The third baseman is a shortstop, the leftfielder is a second baseman, the centerfielder is a left fielder, the first baseman is cheered because he lost some weight and alleges he will now be a good boy, and the starting pitchers are old and ineffective. The setup man throws up before playoff games, and there is no bench.

The Yankees Lose A Close One

This One Belongs to Joe
Joe Torre made the key move, or rather, he didn’t make the move many would have made. Despite the home runs and the emphasis on power, taking pitches, drawing walks, bunting, and getting base hits are what wins games. Cairo had a better chance of reaching base than Clarke had of hitting a home run.
