Is Greg Bird Flying Toward A Demotion?

April has come and gone and May is here. After a red hot spring, Greg Bird isn’t flying instead, he is falling flat. So let the very premature speculation begin. There have been some shining moments, but not enough. Sunday Bird sat on the bench….so is he about to lose his starting gig?

The Yankees agree he’s not a lost cause and will continue to exercise patience with Bird. He hasn’t been good, but he certainly hasn’t earned a demotion and Brian Cashman hasn’t even considered it yet. “It’s not even an option for me, in my mind, right now at all,” Cashman said when asked about sending Bird to the minors to get his swing back, read more HERE.

Look, so far I think Bird has just been unlucky. That may be over simplifying it but I do believe in him and that his performance gets better. He’s made some good contact, in the opener against the Orioles I thought his hit that Adam Jones snagged was going to be extra bases, but Jones and his gold glove defense beat him to it. It happens. At least Bird is making good contact and not making weak ball ground outs. If we were seeing a lot of that then I may be more concerned because that would be a different player. That would be a Bird that no longer had plate discipline and perhaps some time to regroup.

So let the kid play. The Yankees are not in a rush to catch teams and the clock isn’t ticking yet. The Yankees are playing good baseball, and Bird will too. This isn’t a crisis, it’s a small piece from a very long baseball season that will get better for Bird. In fact, I would bet on it.
