I think we'll shape up to look like this:
C - Jorge Posada
1B - Shea Hillenbrand
2B - Robinson Cano
SS - Derek Jeter
3B - Alex Rodriguez
LF - Hideki Matsui
CF - Johnny Damon
RF - Bobby Abreu
DH - Jason Giambi
Bench - Melky Cabrera, Miguel Cairo, Mike Lieberthal
SP - Chien Ming Wang
SP - Mike Mussina
SP - Kei Igawa
SP - Ted Lilly
SP - Randy Johnson
DL - Carl Pavano
CL - Mariano Rivera
Setup - Brian Bruney
Longmen - Jeff Karstens/Darrell Rasner
RP - Kyle Farnsworth
RP - Scott Proctor
RP - Mike Myers
RP - Chris Britton
Once again, starting pitching is the big question mark. At least we have what appears to be a really good bullpen.
For some reason I have this hunch that we'll sign Shea Hillenbrand. Cashman has been saying he's fine with Andy Philips, but I don't believe him. Philips played a lot last year and he wasn't anything great. There's also no way he's going to depend on the combination of Pavano and Johnson. He'll probably sign Ted Lilly, because either Pavano or Johnson are going to be on the DL. As far as Lieberthal goes, he's a declining catcher who we could probably sign for pretty cheap for a year or two to back up Posada until we find a replacement to take over.
