MEET THE YANKEES
The Yankees' projected lineup in 2006:
<p>
CF Johnny Damon<br />
SS Derek Jeter<br />
RF Gary Sheffield<br />
3B Alex Rodriguez<br />
1B Jason Giambi<br />
LF Hideki Matsui<br />
C Jorge Posada<br />
DH Bernie Williams<br />
2B Robinson Cano
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd flip Sheffeild and A-Rod, Then you have 3 speedy guys who can
handle the bat and get on base at the top of the order, then let Sheff
and Giambi drive them home. Giambi walks alot, so you'll get to Matsui
with alot of guys on base, which is also good. They will score a ton of
runs with this lineup. Now we just need to see if they can pitch. </p>
<p>Johnson</p>
<p>Wang </p>
<p>Mussina</p>
<p>Pavano </p>
<p>Chacon </p>
<p>Wright</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hate to put Johnson at the top of the rotation, because at 42 in
the AL I dont think he's an ace anymore. But the reality is the Yanks
dont have an ace. If Wang can stay healthy, and learns the league and
how to pitch in it, he could be great. Chacon just needs to pick up
where he left off last year and there's your real #2. Mussina, Pavano
and Wright I have no idea. If all goes well, they could have a solid
1-5 for the regular season, and win alot of games. But then they get to
the postseason and its the Cardinals deal. Great lineup, good pitching,
lose in the playoffs. Hope I'm wrong. </p>
