Let him hit for Swisher or Gardner or whoever and then use someone else for defense, if need be.

It would've been difficult to squeeze him in I guess, since Girardi felt the pangs of guilt and forced in Posada (credit to him, he had a good series). But I would've accepted putting Posada at 1B and benching the mega offensive zero that is Teixeria and using Montero at the DH. I just don't understand why a manager would be ok with having 4-5-6 in the batting order spend 5 games to bat .150.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826557836698677192noreply@blogger.com
