When he was with the Yankees, he was a good player but consistency was his issue. I'm glad to see him doing well.

He kind of had that feeling but Bernie was pretty consistent. Bernie was very solid but not really a superstar. But doing it for a long period was impressive. Melky showed signs at times and proved he could play on the big stage, but never had a real bust-out year for the Yankees.
