I don't want Bernie. I have the new Bernie Williams in Endy Chavez, and I don't need another geriatric outfielder along side Alou.

Bernie had a long career with the Yankees. There comes a time when a ballplayer has to realize it is time to retire gracefully. It is Bernie's time to retire. Unfortunately, the business climate has not allowed for the graceful exit. Should he go to the Mets so be it. He will be a fourth outfielder at best or an occassional pitch hitter.
