I'd move Matsui to right, Jeter to center, Soriano to short then sign Todd Walker.

Then I'd return Giambi to the A's, pay his salary, and beg forgiveness.

Are you series, or is some form of a joke?

Jeter to center, Soriano to short, and sign Walker?!?!

Some posters never cease to amaze me.

Oh, but the Giambi part is okay??

Jeter would be just as good IMO in center than at short-- (hate to point out he aint that great a SS, in the regular season anyway). Soriano couldn't be any worse at short than he is at second-- he played short in the minors. Bernie would absolutely benefit from a move to left. Todd Walker has the ideal stroke for Yankee stadium-- I see 25 to 30 homers easily.

Giving Giambi back to the A's would counter-act the Giambi curse.. (that being the Yankees never win another World Series after stealing him from the A's... (in the late 21st century, after 25 straight trips to the playoffs with no title, the chants of 0-1, 0-1, 0-1 will ring in the ears of yankee fans everywhere)..

I could have just as easily said that your entire post didn't make sense, I just decided to focus on your defensive shift ideas.

You point out that Jeter isn't a great regular season SS. Well, who would you rather have at SS during the postseason, Jeter or Soriano (and be honest)? I agree that Bernie should move over. The better move IMO would be to trade Soriano for Beltran (or some combo as long as both players are in that deal) so that you can have a REAL CF replace Bernie, have your clutch SS, move Bernie to left. As for your 2B dilemma, signing Walker sounds like a good idea, but this is a guy who's hit a career high of 17 HR's (12 of those in 85 games with Colorado).

We were arguing the Soriano for Beltran post in a different thread, and I made this post to illuminate the need for that trade. But I think there's a certain ammount of logic to the position switches. Besides that, it's fun. Lighten up MR. snakehead.

But yes, I'd rather have Jeter than Soriano at SS during the playoffs. But I'd rather have Jeter in just about every conceivable situation rather than Soriano-- playing SS, driving nascar, delivering a baby, reciting poetry...you name it. The key is I'd rather have a healthy Bernie. And a healthy Bernie, as well as a better played center (absent of Beltran) has Jeter. Todd Walker's stroke was made for Yankee stadium. 25 to 30 HRs. Soriano couldn't be any worse at SS than he is at 2B.
