Yankees Mailbag: Gittens, Brito and league-wide choices

Good morning everyone, let’s reach into the mailbag for more of your Yankees questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.

Clay C. asks: Why do the Yankees seem so hesitant to give Chris Gittens a shot at first? I understand he hasn’t had many at-bats at Double-A or above, but it’s not like like we are getting even below average play at first with Mike Ford batting .140. With Hicks going on the 60 day IL, there shouldn’t be a problem adding him to the 40 man roster.
