As we finally approach Opening Day we can put away the mittens, the Chapstick and the hot cocoa and get our balls and bats ready for the 2011 Season.
The Yankees are making their way through the Tampa pre-season like a lukewarm knife through fudge. But being of the mind that it's better to stay quiet and prepare, this year's Yankees are playing it cool.
Taking a gander round the horn we can see our team on a more one-on-one basis.
Jorge won't be behind the dish as much anymore and that's too bad for us Jorge fans but it's unfortunately also probably bad news for last years opposing base runners. Russell Martin should be a solid backstop as Big Baby Jesus II is in the on deck circle.
First is Tex's domain and he seems to be ready to mash but it's his glove I love.
Second base is covered by newly minted superstar Robbie Cano, whaddya know.
Third base hinges on A-Rod's hip but he looks good enough to Twist and Shout.
And at Shortstop is El Capitaine, everyone's poster boy, Derek Jeter. His new contract clearly expresses his feelings that there's no place like home.
And in the Outfield we got speed and good haircuts in Gardner, Granderson and Swisher.
Let's see if we can put together our wood and make this lineup SWING.
