This year there are many position battles. Who will take the last spot in the outfield? Who will start at first? The players in these battles are most likley Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Jason Giambi, and Shelley Duncan. Here is how I would set the postitions.

RF-Bobby Abreu

CF-Melky Cabrera

LF-Johnny Damon

3B-Alex Rodriguez

2B-Robinson Cano

1B-Shelley Duncan

SS-Derek Jeter

C-Jorge Posada

DH-Jason Giambi

I would have Damon as full time unless injured which will probably happen. That would have Matsui swith in. Otherwise, Matsui would be good to fill in for Giambi.

Going by my starters in the field, this is how my lineup would look.

1.Melky Cabrera

2.Derek Jeter

3.Robinson Cano

4.Alex Rodriguez

5.Bobby Abreu

6.Jorge Posada

7.Shellley Duncan

8.Johnny Damon

9.Jason Giambi

I think anyway you put the lineup it is solid al the way.

GO YANKS!

This should be the best Yankee rotation we have had in a while if the Joba, Ian, and Phil live up to there full potential. Them added with Wang and Pettitte should be a great staff. Now on to how I would manage the Yankees pitching staff.

The locks for the rotation (in no order) are Andy Pettitte, Chien-Ming Wang, Phil Hughes, and Ian Kennedy. I wish Joba was a lock but for obvious reason. Since he has not started a regular season big league game I can see why. He needs to get to where he can bring 7 innings. By doing that he and Mussina can switch off spots in the rotation. Example, Joba pitches on July 5 and then when it would be his turn on the 10 it would be Mussina's turn. During his stretch without starting he can relieve. It would be a good way to stretch out his innings. Hopefully he turns out along with the others. Let's hope for a good season. GO YANKS!
