Some recent changes to the Yankees projected 2009 Opening Day roster (based on the players they reportedly have under contract now):

Jorge Posada
Juan Miranda Mark Teixeira
Robinson Cano
Alex Rodriguez
Derek Jeter
Hideki Matsui
Johnny Damon
Brett Gardner
Xavier Nady
Jose Molina
Melky Cabrera
Wilson Betemit Ramiro Pena Angel Berroa
Chris Malec Nick Swisher
Chien-Ming Wang
Joba Chamberlain
Darrell Rasner Ian Kennedy CC Sabathia
Phil Hughes
Alfredo Aceves A.J. Burnett
Mariano Rivera
Brian Bruney
Jose Veras
Edwar Ramirez
Phil Coke
David Robertson
Mark Melancon Damaso Marte

One too many outfielders on this one as it stands…either a trade is coming or one between Cabrera and Gardner will end up starting the year in Triple-A.  It would also be nice to see one more semi-established starting pitcher make the squad too (in place of Hughes).
