He hit just .153 in his first 17 big league games but quickly turned things around in his second tour of duty in the Bronx, hitting .294 in his final 25 games and he believes he started proving he can play at the next level. http://yankees.scout.com/2/801552.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/801552.html Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:36:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Brett Gardner was having a terrific season for Triple-A Scranton in every phase of the game except for his high strikeouts. And after getting his long awaited promotion to the big leagues, he hit just .153 with 17 strikeouts in 17 games. He returned to Scranton at the end of July and he already knew what he would have done differently in his initial call-up. http://yankees.scout.com/2/779661.html 2047 Dan LaTorraca http://yankees.scout.com/2/779661.html Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:25:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees In a designed plan to improve his power, Brett Gardner has learned to become more aggressive earlier in the counts to drive the ball more frequently. Putting up some of his best power numbers ever, the speedster is now looking for the final piece of the puzzle - cutting down on the strikeouts. http://yankees.scout.com/2/763164.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/763164.html Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:10:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees SCRANTON, PA - Brett Gardner has adjusted very well in his second season at every level during his time in the Yankees organization.

Now headed to Triple-A Scranton to start the season, he just wants to continue to show them he's ready to compete at the big league level. http://yankees.scout.com/2/741892.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/741892.html Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:00:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Who are the outfield prospects who have the defensive abilities to play in the big leagues right now?

Despite hitting .288 in his career and showcasing some of the best speed in all of professional baseball, as well as being close to big league ready, he continually gets overlooked by his critics for his lack of power. http://yankees.scout.com/2/720748.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/720748.html Thu, 17 Jan 2008 03:43:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees James Rowson, the new Yankees minor league hitting coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a two-part Q&A series.

While he admits to being quite comfortable in his second tour of duty in the prospect-laden league, he credits his hot hitting with a new aggressive approach at the plate. http://yankees.scout.com/2/693332.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/693332.html Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:36:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Brett Gardner put together a solid 2007 campaign, hitting a combined .281 in stops between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton. But missing nearly six weeks of the season with a couple of injuries and amassing just 381 at-bats along the way, he says he's using his second invitation to the Arizona Fall League to get ready for 2008, a year he knows will be a big one for him. http://yankees.scout.com/2/682512.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/682512.html Sat, 22 Sep 2007 07:18:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Yankees Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations Mark Newman, responsible for both player development and scouting, sits down for a Q&A session to talk about the state of the farm system, if he believes the farm system is as deep as it ever has been, what he sees in Brett Gardner's future, what his thoughts are on Jesus Montero, and much, much more! http://yankees.scout.com/2/673750.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/673750.html Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:31:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees When the 2007 season began for Brett Gardner, Triple-A didn’t seem like the destination for the young lefty. He got off to a slow start, hitting only .211 before he was sidelined by a hand injury. Upon returning to Double-A Trenton, he increased his batting average to a solid .300, alongside a .419 slugging percentage and a .392 on base percentage. http://yankees.scout.com/2/665206.html 2047 Christopher Barrows http://yankees.scout.com/2/665206.html Mon, 06 Aug 2007 13:14:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees It's not often an injury is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to turning a season around, but that just might be the case with Brett Gardner. Hitting just .211 before a hand injury put him on the shelf for five weeks, he has hit .397 since his return and Gardner credits his injury as the reason for his quick turnaround. http://yankees.scout.com/2/654495.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/654495.html Tue, 26 Jun 2007 03:40:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees He didn't get one in his brief time in big league camp. He only registered 24 of them in stops between Tampa and Trenton last season. Now returning to Double-A this season, Brett Gardner will be looking to get more extra-base hits by hitting the ball with more authority in 2007. http://yankees.scout.com/2/632624.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/632624.html Wed, 04 Apr 2007 13:59:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Who are the outfield prospects who have the defensive abilities to play in the big leagues right now?
