Got Melk?

Melky Cabrera just saved Jaret Wright's bacon with a perfect peg to nail Javy Lopez at home and save a run. The more I see of Leche ("milk" in Spanish) the more I believe he's going to be an All-Star. He's a four-tool player. He can run, field, throw - he's now tied for the league lead in outfield assists with six - and hit for average but not power. At least not yet. He seems 100% comfortable, far different from his shaky and nervous debut last year. He acts and plays as if he belongs in the majors, and he does belong. The Yankees have developed two teriffic position players in him and Cano. I don't want to see either of them traded for anyone. Period.
