Thank goodness for Gardner, Teixeira, Cano, Thames and Swisher, eh?
And, I wonder, looking at his numbers here before he got hurt, how A-Rod will perform over the last month of the season once he returns? How terrible will it be for him if the Yankees are fighting it out with the Rays over the last month and he tanks during that time?





When you take the counting stats here and times them by 2, this is what you get:
HR RBI Teixeira 42 116 Rodriguez 28 112 Cano 30 100 Swisher 30 100 Posada 20 70 Granderson 24 68 Jeter 10 56 Gardner 6 50 Thames 16 36 Pena 0 22 Cervelli 0 18Just an another (interesting?) way to look at projected seasonal production based performance of the last three months.
And, supposing A-Rod returns in tip-top hip-hop form, might this be the optium lineup down the strecth?
LF Gardner
RF Swisher
1B Teixeira
3B A-Rod
2B Cano
DH Thames
CF Granderson
C Posada
SS Jeter
@ Jim TreshFan:
Granderson ahead of Posada?
And, as much as I love Thames’ current hot streak, it’s not going to last. I wouldn’t write his name on the lineup card in sharpee.
Why presume ARod will tank?
Did his October last yr not end all that talk?
I know you hate ARod, Steve, but this is bordering on crazy talk.
@ Jim TreshFan:
posada hitting 8th?
thanks for the laugh, bud

Injury plus lack of rehab assignment in his comeback.
Did you see Ryan Howard’s first games back from the DL after a one-game rehab? UGH-LEE.
