AFJF Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Is a guy they Yankees should make a run at. He is hands down the FASTEST player in MLB and he can go get it in CF. He was on base 66 times last season (.276 BA) and stole 20 bases. For anybody who has not seen this guy run, the closest thing I've ever seen to it in person was watching Deion round the bases for the Yankees when I was a kid. He's a lefty bat who just needs to learn how to work the count. Not quite ready to be a LOH just yet but when I see that the Yankees are interested in acquiring Jason Michaels from the Phillies I want to puke. Offer up a young arm like Henn to the D' Rays and get this guy. He's stuck behing Crawford and Baldelli so the D' Rays would like to move him. In three minor league seasons Gathright has a .319 BA with 134 SB in 262 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Jets & Ham Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Good Post, AJF If we can acqire Gathright for Sean Henn, DEAL ME IN 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yes. This would be a good acquisition. And I know some people think Gathright is just a bench player or another Tony Womack but thats not true. Gathright has alot of potential as a hitter. He needs to work on alot of things, but if he puts it toegether he'll be a special player. If not, at least he'd be a decent centerfielder and a great pinch runner.

Thor99 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Unfortunately for Yankee fans, the D-Rays know what they have in Gaithwright. It'll take a little more than Henn to pry him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
