  • Imagine Teixeira in the Yankees lineup

    Monday December 22, 2008 2:58 PM By Pete Catapano

    Let's fantasize for just a sec.

    So the Angels an Red Sox say they're dropping out of the bidding war for gold-glove switch hitting first baseman Mark Teixeira.

    Now, that opens the door for the Yanks' to open up their very huge, massive wallet to sign the slugger.

    So. here's my guess of what the line-up could look like if things go that way (assuming Girardi alternates left and righty hitters)

    Johnny Damon LF

    Derek Jeter SS

    Mark Teixeira 1B

    Alex Rodriguez 3B

    Hideki Matsui DH

    Jorge Posada C

    Robinson Cano 2B

    Xavier Nady RF

    Brett Gardner CF

    And while we're at it, here's the starting five if Pettitte re-signs:

    CC Sabathia

    Chien Ming Wang

    AJ Burnett

    Joba Chamberlain

    Andy Pettitte
