Reggie Likes Austin Jackson
March 1, 2008, 9:44 pm
Tyler Kepner has an interesting read about Reggie Jackson and how he has been impressed by the young center field prospect, Austin Jackson (watch out Melky). In fact, he even goes as far as calling Jackson the “best athlete in the organization”.
Also, in that same article, Kepner speaks on Billy Traber. I haven’t spoken too much about Traber, but he’s competing for a spot with the club. Ideally, he’d love to start, although that’s a whimsical dream to have in Yankeeland. Now, he’s essentially vying for the lefty role out of the bullpen. Today, he faced three lefty hitters in the exhibition game against Philly and ended up retiring all three of them.
reggie jackson is such a great player, and although he as gone through a lot, he has overcome all of his troubles and is a legend. if you want to see what jackson is doing now, check out the segment “where are they now?” brought to you by fanfuego.com. you can find the video on youtube, google video, aol video and facebook.
