Mantle. Zito. Myers. Works for me. Still liked the last, last season more. /Weep and sorrow.


C: Jake Long, 7-6-6-6-6
1B: Derek Jeter, 8-7-6-7-7
2B: Esteban German, 8-7-2-7-6
SS: Jose Reyes, 8-9-5-6-6
3B: Chris Sabo, 7-8-7-7-7
RF: Curtis Granderson, 8-10-6-6-4
CF: Mickey Mantle, 9-6-10-10-6
LF: Hideki Matsui, 7-9-8-7-7
DH: Travis Buck, 8-8-6-7-7

Yeah just now noticed I don't have a 1B. Hm. Oh well, a new challenge for Jeter. Should steal quite a few bases again, but the offense will suck, forcing me to be creative again like last season before the hiccup.

Bench:
C Jeremy West, 7-7-7-4-6
3B Mike Lowell, 7-10-8-6-6
DH Jack Cust, 5-8-10-9-3
2B/OF Kory Casto, 7-7-7-5-6


Rotation:
Zach Duke, 10-8-10
Johnny Cueto, 10-9-10
Barry Zito, 9-7-9
Dustin Nippert, 9-8-8
Brett Myers, 9-7-7

I like Myers a lot but I'm sure I'll end up starting Gaudin, Masterson or Rogers before the season is up.


Pen:
Matt DeWitt, 9-7-7
Travis Bowyer, 8-7-7
Scot Shields, 9-6-8
Todd Coffey, 7-8-8
Tom "All Killer No Filler" Rogers, 8-7-9
Justin Duchsherer, 9-9-7 <--- the setup
Jose Valverde, 10-7-8 <--- the closer

Deep pen, works for me. Fear it, I have a bonafide murderer in there.


Others that might see time:
3B Michael Grantham, 8-6-2-5-4 of 10-6-2-7-9
Utl Hector Luna, 7-7-3-4-6
SP Justin Masterson, 7-7-8 of 8-8-8
SP Chad Gaudin, 7-7-9 of 8-7-10
MR Edgar Martinez, 6-8-8 of 7-9-9
MR David Sanders, 6-8-9
MR Duaner Sanchez, 8-7-7




Pitching should be okay, and hitting should be pretty terrible. Wow, I even impressed myself by forgetting about 1B. Rock on. Uhhh, yeha, so well, hopefully Mantle and Long develop more and Reyes and Granderson stay off the D.L.. Anyone need a pitcher, heh? Prolly finish last again, which is fine.
