Did the Yanks have Jeter or A-Rod play both games of doubleheaders each time too, particularly when one or the other was hurting? And, are you saying that 140 games of Reyes a year is “a circus” if the alternative is having a back-up play much more than twenty or so games plus some of the remainder having Reyes play partial speed? Is Reyes the only star player who has to be used with some sort of finesse? Not quite seeing it.
game off in the twinbill. I would expect (hope) that Wright
is given off in the second game.
