I might switch Werth and Victorino around, just to have the double steal at the top of the order. Or, if Utley isn't abloe to start the season, go Rollins, Victorino, Werth.

And don't count out Paulino, maybe the change of scenery will do him good; he was great as a rookie and maybe he can recapture that now that he's out of The Pitt.

As far as Rotation (since that seems to have popped up)

1) Hamels
2) Myers
3) Blanton
4) Moyer
5) Carrasco

Twins:

Lineup:

1. Dendard Span - LF
2. Alexi Casilla - 2B
3. Joe Mauer - C
4. Justin Morneau - 1B
5. Joe Crede - 3B
6. Jason Kubel - DH
7. Michael Cuddyer - RF
8. Nick Punto - SS
9. Carlos Gomez - CF

Rotation:

1. Scott Baker
2. Fransisco Liriano
3. Kevin Slowey
4. Glen Perkins
5. Nick Blackburn

The Twins lineup will probably look like that on opening day, Baker is getting the start. It will be an interesting Spring Training for them with 4 outfielders going for 3 spots... Look for the possiblity of Gomez losing center to Span if Delmon has a solid spring and Gomez can't get on base. The rotation will also be interesting considering the pitching talent in the minors (Anthony Swarzak), but it looks like those 5 will be in that order once the season starts.

I'm pumped, can't wait to see our lineup in action.

Elvis Andrus SS Rangers have 5 quality OF's if Jones makes the team when you include Marlon Bryd so the li neup will change depending on matchups Pitching Rotation: 1. Kevin Millwood 2.

I don't think Salty will be, or should be the Opening Day starting catcher. Teagarden has proven himself to be ready in the big leauges, and is much better than Salty. They should keep Salty on the bench, and only use him for PH situations, or if Davis gets injured. And if that fails, just trade for some pitching. Byrd will also probably be starting instead of Cruz.

Yankees

CF - Damon
SS - Jeter
1B - Teixeira
3B - A-Rod
DH - Matsui
RF - Nady
C - Posada
LF - Swisher
2B - Cano

Brett Gardner will be on the bench and play CF at least once a week. As for Melky Cabrera, he could be in Hell for all I care. He won't be on my team, that's for sure.
