Sorry Tim, but I think you're over reacting if you think the Yanks should "start playing the kids" in mid-August (5 games out of the wild card) and if you think Gardner's playing time is finished with Matsui coming back. I think Girardi will get everyone AB's, including Gardner. Damon gets one day off per week, Nady gets a day here, Abreu gets a day there. I don't think they'll want Hideki to play more than 3 days in a row, so he only DHs 4-5 times a week. I could see Gardner still playing 4 times a week.
