-Does anyone else think A-rod should be clean up and Tex should be number 3 in the lineup?

GO YANKEES!!

l live in Connecticut.


but yea l agree with you

Pretty solid.Lets see if the chemistry is right.

The best hitter on your team bats 3rd. A-Rod was kind of forced to hit 4th last year since we did not have a guy like Tex. l agree with your lineup, but not with your rotation. I'd have Wang 2nd, but he will be 3rd in that.

Its right down sucky.
All it is, is money, money, money!

l look for all those pitchers to blow out their arms and/or wear out after the all star break, especially Burnett. And l see the batting lineup declining a bit overall as the Yankees can not suck down the 'roids like candy as they di in the past. Frankly, your Yankees will probably have the 1st losing season in a long time.

that lineup looks good. every thing will be ok

l really like that team, l think A-Rod should bat third so Teixeira can protect him.

On paper it looks good.but does not it every year? Yet, they manage to not play up to their potential. Johnny Damon..hmmm injury prone. Who knows how Teixeira will do in NY. Posada, Matsui.healthy? Have a feeling CC is not going to do well in NY. And A rod to me is so overrated.
Too many egos= very little production.
