I've always liked Tino too:
Tino Martinez is trying to replace Don Mattingly again -- this time in the New York Yankees record book. Martinez homered for the fifth straight game and New York rallied twice from big deficits to beat the Seattle Mariners 13-9 on Wednesday for their season-high fifth straight win. No Yankee has had a home run streak this long since Mattingly -- now the club's hitting coach -- tied the major league mark in 1987 with home runs in eight consecutive games.
Here's a way to get better performance and save on payroll - ditch Giambi, claim breach of contract based on his steroid use. Put Tino back at first fulltime. We get better at bats, a better glove, and lower payroll. Maybe Steinbrenner and Cashman can locate a clue and come to the same conclusion...
