If Santana pitched in Kennedy's place he may have won and yes NY would be 3-2 instead of 2-3 ....and if my Father had tits he would be my Mother ;-) It wasn’t Kennedy for Santana….

It may not be the answer but at this rate , and should it continue , the current isn't either. I say next week as well….a switch at leadoff and possibly 3 and 6 may help?

jeter hits great in that spot. loves first pitch fastball and more often than not pitchers throw very hittable pitches to the first batter.

my line-up is

jeter
damon (i know it it crazy switching them, but damon is a left and getting that hole open on the right side would be hue for him)
Cano
aRod
abreu (assuming he doesnt hit 180 and 210 the fist 2 months)
posad)
matsui (with duncan getting some at bats in left0
giambi (again splitting time with duncan)
melky

this team will have a major facelift next year offensively and defensively. it is a shame that they didnt start this offseason. i strongly believe that unless a team makes it to the WS, they need to inject another very good offensive player or pitcher into the line-up if nothing else than to pump up the team a bit.

If abeau is going to give us another 2 months like he did last season, i would sooner want cano put in the 3 hole. hell, its a team of kids - lets see what they all can do. i dont think that they are playoff bound this season so my interestlies moe in what kennedy, hughes, joba, melky, and cano do. oh yeah an i will keep a close eye on the 24-2 season that johan puts together acoss town. not getting him becasue pettite resigned is turning sour. while i am glad we kept the kidds, pettite will have a horrible year coming off the mitchell report and starting the season hurt. think back to pitchers who have had injuries at season start - it is often tough fo them to get back in the groove fo a long time if at all. i am reading these posts and nobody is remembeing how piss poo the team was in the geining of last year until abreu got hot – he was about to be un out of town when all of the sudden he remembered how to hit.

1-jeter
2-matsui
3-cano
4-arod
5-abreu
6-posada
7-giambi
8-damon
9-melky

there is a lot of speed at the bottom of the line up
