Anyone else think Brett Gardner is a legit superstar in the making?

[Hugbees]

Actually most people vote against yankee players. The only mainstays (that are voted in) are teix, and jeter. And possibly cano now. But other than that, no one else really gets voted in. And ARods problem last year means he won't be anymore either

And I doubt gardner ever hits over .285 (which for a 9th hitter is perfectly fine with me).

Btw it's impossible to vote against someone. You can not vote for them but being a Yankee = more fans = more votes. Also, if Arod has even a decent season, he'll be starting third base, that's just how it goes.

I hate you.

Don't hate me.

We had Chad Tracy hitting 5th today.

Yes, THAT Chad Tracy.

[JDMac80]

he's a career major league player, thats it

[Steelers>NFL]

I think Gardner is playing way over his head right now.
Let's discuss this at the end of the season, or after the Yankees win the WS.

[Pinstripe power]

superstar? no chance

[runnermjr1296]

I don't think "Superstar" is a term that should just be thrown around. Can he be a solid everyday player ? Yes ! Will his broad range of skills help the Yankees win games ? Yes Again. But to think hes the next "Great Yankee Center-fielder" may be a bit strong. If I were a Yankee fan (Thank God I'm Not) I'd be more impressed with what Robinson Cano is doing.

yeah really sucks being a YANKEE fan

[Madness23]

could you at least wait till he becomes a star before calling him a future all superstar ? typical yankee fan lol

[Spiderman 1nner]

superstar? doubtful, but I do thinkk he'll make a few all star games in his career and will be on a few championship teams if he stays in NY

[DieHardColtsfan]

Prob 1st ballot Hall Of Fame.

I was hoping Gardner would become Jacob Ellsbury. That seems to be a possibility.

[jetsfan28]

Yeah...that .377 BABIP is going to regress. Plus he's not even slugging .400 right now. But he'll be a quality player, thanks to his patience, speed, and glove.

He's slugging .438


Anyway, not a superstar, but he can be a damn good player. No reason he can't sit at .310/.390/.420 with very good defense in the future, just needs to keep improving.

[goose459]

For a guy that's never even put up superstar numbers in the minors, definitely not. Could be solid though.

robinson cano didnt put up super star numbers in the minors either but look where he is now just saying though. dont think that hes gonna be a superstar hopefully a good ball player . but you never know

[Gunzito22]

I was hoping Gardner would become Jacob Ellsbury. That seems to be a possibility.

meanwhile, somewhere in Boston, Ellsbury is hoping to someday be hitting as good as Brett Gardner.

Gardner's ceiling is a CF that could start on 20 other teams in the bigs... superstar is a major reach though.

[Tribe]

Nope....decent enough to have a good long career but take him off of the yankee roster and he is still nothing special

[joe j.09]

lol at this thread.
