Was just listening to an interview with Girardi yesterday and he said Tex is gonna stay in the 3 hole. He said Posada or Matsui are the options for cleanup.
I dunno, I probably would try Cano in the 3rd spot. He'll get pitches to hit considering pitchers won't want to pitch to Tex. But based on what Girardi's saying it'll probably be something like - Damon, Jeter, Tex, Matsui, Posada, Nady/Swisher, Cano, Ransom, Gardner.
It is a little worrisome when the 4 and 5 hitters in the lineup are both coming back fro injuries and both getting up there in age.
