I simply do not have the desire to plead with those that still believe the best is yet to come from 26-year-old Yankees first baseman Greg Bird.
Instead, his abysmal numbers at the plate are all anyone needs to know why the time has come for the organization to hand the everyday reigns over to Luke Voit, or promote Mike Ford to fill in for manager Aaron Boone’s first base platoon.
While I fully understand that Bird is not the sole reason as to why the Yankees are 6-9, 5.5 games back of the first place Rays; however, unless it hasn’t been reported, Bird is healthy, yet still cannot produce as a major league player should.
