Pick the line up

[Rick2583]

Here's the way I see it.....

Elsbury
Jeter
Beltran
Teixeira
Soriano
McCann
Johnson
Gardner
Roberts

...I'd rather have Gardner batting 9th.

They need one more decent bat, hate seeing McCann down there with no protection, and with a pile of young catchers going nowhere as a Yankee a trade is a must now, get an IF please.

Elsbury

Soriano
McCann
Johnson
Gardner

I would flip Soriano and McCann and I would flip Gardner and Roberts

All in all I feel pretty good about this line up. So much so that I'm predicting 90-95 wins & the division.

Agreed, that's how I'd like to see it as well.

That largely depends on the health of Jeter & Tex...

 

[JeterRules20]

I think I would hit McCann fourth or fifth and then maybe Soriano then Tex. I still think they need another bat for the infield an I just wish they would sign Drew or swing a trade. Roberts will not last even 80 games and I think that may be a stretch. I also would bat Gardner 9th.

 

[Rick2583]

Latest word as I though, the Mets are close to signing Drew but are only offering 1 year & I think he's looking for more.

 

[JeterRules20]

If I were the Yankees and jump in and offer him a two year deal or a 1 year for more money.

I would agree for either more money on 1 year or 2 years... no more then that though...

 

[yankeesince59]

Said it before but I am not all that fired up about Drew, and he should have taken Boston's $14 Mil QO. I also often point out that "I don't really care about the money" but if they can sign him for ONE year with a CLUB OPTION for a second year, fine, go ahead and do it. The reason I would not commit to more than one year is that there should be better options next year.
...offer him $12 Mil with the club option of $12 MIl next year.

...according to MLB, the Mets haven't even made Drew an offer.

Heard it on sports center this morning.

Think Strother Martin to Paul Newman.
