C: Jorge Posada, Jose Molina (Molina only plays if Jorge gets hurt.)
IN: Mark Teixteira, Tino Martinez, Robbie Cano, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Luis Sojo (in case of injury, Homer Bush, who beats out Aaron Boone, because he whiffed)
OF: Bernie Williams, Paul O’Neill, Johnny Damon, Brett Gardner, Shane Spencer (Gardner for speed -- rather than Freddie Guzman; Spencer for RH power off bench)
DH: Hideki Matsui, Gary Sheffield (Sorry, Jason)
STARTERS: CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, Orlando Hernandez, David Wells (No need for fifth starter in post.)
BULLPEN: Mariano Rivera, Mike Stanton, Damaso Marte, Mike Mussina, Ramiro Mendoza, Phil Hughes (Never forget Mussina's relief appearance in Aaron Boone game)
No Miguel Cairo?
ReplyDeleteHe'll play for my Scranton-Wilkes Barre team, chasing the Governor's Cup.
ReplyDeleteI have to give the edge to Giambi over Sheffield. Giambi hit two big homers against Pedro in game 7, 2003 ALCS to keep us in the game. Sheff did nothing.
ReplyDeleteOh and Spencer's big year was 1998, which thus shouldn't be considered in whether he makes this roster. So I would then give that last outfield spot to Sheff, who at least put up an MVP caliber year for one year he was in pinstripes.
