Yankees Opening Day roster

With the Yanks just about done with making moves this offseason, I thought I’d predict the Opening Day (only 64 more days!!!) lineup. Yes, I am fiending baseball that badly; this season has got to start soon, I’m dying over here…Without further ado, I give you your 2010 New York Yankees:

1. Jeet, SS
2. Grandy , LF*
3. Tex, 1B
4. A-Rod, 3B
5. Georgie, C
6. Johnson, DH
7. Cano, 2B
8. Swish Dog, RF
9. Gardner, CF*

The starting rotation will be as such:

1. CC
2. AJ
3. Pettitte
4. Vazquez
5. Joba/Gaudin. I’m hoping it will be Gaudin because Joba belongs in the ‘pen. Knowing the Yanks, though, they’ll keep Joba in the rotation.

*I know Grandy was brought in to be the center fielder, but, mark my words, Gardner will be in center come Opening Day. He’s too fast to be a corner outfielder.

I can’t resist, here are a few links:

• What’s this guy’s problem? Doesn’t he know the Yanks are just trying to Winn?
• A little belated, but check out the best prospect of the past decade.
• Ouch. PECOTA has the Yanks missing the playoffs…despite winning 93 games. They never should have let Damon go!!!!
• Speaking of which, look who is learning to reap what he sows.
