Gardy

There is talk among Yankee fans and the media that Brett Gardner should be called up and replace struggling Melky Cabrera. I know Brit feels strongly about this so I would love to see her comment here about this, but here are my thoughts.
I love Brett Gardner, who doesn't? I think he could have a Jay Bruce like effect when and if called up. That being said, would it be worth the distraction and throwing Melky under the bus?
I think the distraction is absolutley not what the Yanks need right now. Between all the injuries and trade talks and such, do we really need one more negative right now? Don't get me wrong, I believe Gardy is the superior player, but we also have to recognize what Melky is capable of. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros - Gardy:
Amazingly fast
Covers great ground in CF
Hits for average
Has some pop in his bat
Amazing burst of energy
Team player
Pros - Melky:
Incredible arm
Has shown that he can hit
Has big League experience
Team player
Energizer bunny
Has had success at this level
Cons - Gardy:
Will he have immediate success in the big leagues? If not, how long will it take?
Would would the morale in the clubhouse be like?
Unlikely as it is, what happens if Gardy falters? You now have a Cabrera who is emotionally hurt and has taken a confidence cut.
Cons - Melky:
What if we have seen all he is capable of? His numbers are no where near off the chart?
What if this is a season long slump? Yes unlikely, but it has happened before with young guys.
Is his arm strong enough to make us forget about his hitting?
My solution - yes, I want to see Gardy atleast given a chance, but I say we wait until spring training to mess with it. That way, you are still giving Melky a chance and not throwing him under the bus and yet you let Gardy try and prove himself.
