This may be one of Joe Torre's magical moves as it seems moving Knoblauch from second base to left field has calmed the team and Knoblauch himself. The Yankees need his bat in the lineup so as long as he's not a total butcher out there, this could help the team. The fifth outfielder, he may see a bit more time given the shaky status of Knoblauch, O'Neill's age and David Justice's injury status. He's as tough as they come and with all he has accomplished it's hard to see him tolerating anything less than his usual productive levels. The Yankees must feel comfortable enough with his ability to help them because they had the option of getting rid of him or Glenallen Hill and chose Hill.
Swing seems made for short porch in right field.
