Today, you said "Sheff and Matsui, that's two or three runs a game right there."

No.

Stick to the running into walls, diving for balls, and throwing like a girl. Let BP do the math.

Matsui is eighth on the team with a 0.050 MLVr while Sheffield has an MLVr of 0.209. That's almost exactly a quarter of a run a game. Yes, that's significant and no, you don't have a good replacement. Bubba Crosby's a negative and Melky Cabrera won't keep up his small-sample pace.

The biggest problem the Yankees have now is figuring out that Bernie Williams is not the answer. Do the math on that one, Johnny.
