IT'S TIME TO BRING UP KOLE CALHOUN

We keep doing this thing where we see Aaron Hicks in the lineup and we all cringe.  Aaron Boone is acting like Hicks belongs there, like he earned it, but we all know he's playing him because the Yankees are paying him a boat load of money he doesn't deserve. And so, they are trying to justify it, but not go public and just say it. That's because deep down they know that dude shouldn't be anywhere near a baseball field.  

You know who's making things happen and is the perfect replacement for Hicks right now? Kole Calhoun.  I'm a few days late to this, but have you seen Kole's numbers down at Scranton-Wilkes Barre? .444 average with 3 homers.That's 12-27.  I know it's the minors, but the guy is hungry! We need to feed this guy! Bring him up! 

In comparison, Hicks is batting .153. Hardly a threat.

"With experience all over the outfield — he played 29 games in Hicks’ left field spot for the Rangers last season — Calhoun is the perfect option to replace Aaron Hicks whenever he’s up to major-league speed. The Yankees clearly don’t want to spend more to fix an already-expensive issue of their own creation, but Calhoun doesn’t require that. A simple call-up and he’s there as the replacement fans have been looking for.

That doesn’t mean that Kole Calhoun will revolutionize the New York Yankees but, given the net-negative that Hicks has been, it’s well worth a look."

And that's the key here, he IS well worth a look.

I love to reward solid players.  Kole needs a shot! Hicks needs to go away.
