Gee whiz...I had hardly pressed "enter" and posted yesterday's blog on the YAnkees acquistion of CC and AJ -- then Santa Steinbrenner delivers another gift -- Mark Teixeria hall of fame quality first baseman. He will bring a consistent batting average, occassional power, a glod glove to first and tremendous experience! This is too good to be true! Trust me when I say this...I don't thin the yanks are finished. They could land another pitcher or trade off a couple of players like Melky and Nady for a power house in the outfield. So what would their line up look like if the season started tomorrow:
LF Damon - solid bat, still can run
SS Jeter - can now take chances because of who is behind him
1B Teixeria
3B A-Rod
C Posada
DH Matsui
RF Nady/Swisher
CF Caberra
2B Cano
Pitching.... CC; AJ; Wang; Petitte (still to be signed); Chamberlin
AWESOOOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEEE!
