What A Lineup
1-5 things look familiar: Damon, Jeter, Abreu, A-Rod, Matsui
it's 6-9 where things get a little crazy: Ensberg, Cabrera, Moeller, Gonzalez
Giambi needs a day off to rest, so Ensberg is subbing for him. Girardi wants to sit Cano down a night, so Gonzalez is going to play second. Moeller we know about and Cabrera is where he usually is.
I like the idea of getting someone like Ensberg involved, though facing a righty this would be a perfect spot for Betemit. Since he is on the DL, Ensberg it is. Shelly Duncan isn't eligible to come back until this weekend, though he won't get called up until Moeller can be sent back down. (BTW- Moeller got added to the 40-man by putting Sanchez on the 60-day DL)
The interesting thing will be Joba and when he comes back. Obviously, they would probably send Albie back down, but I just wonder how long Girardi is going to go without a long guy. (Unless he has decided that Ohlendorf is that guy which is fine by me.) If Girardi wants a long guy you would think Rasner or (cue the music) Igawa would get the call. We shall see...
