Weight: 195 lbs.

Position: Third Base [3B]

Organization: New York Yankees

Acquired: Selected by Yankees in 2001 draft (1st round)

Current Team: Tampa Yankees – Florida State League - A

Bronson Sardinha may well be one of the most gifted infielders in the Yankees organization today. There are only two reasons that he will never be a Yankee: A-Rod and Jeter. [See the MLN story "Nowhere To Go But…Nowhere"]

The dirt under the shortstop and third base bag at Yankee stadium are two of the most expensive parcels of real estate in New York City history. A-Rod is looking at a decade there. There is no sign that Jeter, who may rank third behind God and Donald Trump in New York popularity polls, is going to be departing any time soon either.

Sardinha has been having a solid year in the Florida State League [FSL], batting .329 in 56 games with the Tampa Yankees.

He leads the FSL with73 hits. He has a great work ethic and sense of commitment, even to an organization where he doesn't have a logical fit.

The sun will rise. The sun will set. George Steinbrenner will deal his better young talent for the big names.

We wish Sardinha well wherever he lands. Hopefully it will be with a club that can put his skills and energy to good use in the majors one day.
