BATTING THIRD, THE NEWEST GUY...
Alex Rodriguez?
Wow. If this gets done, the boys are gonna be down right frightening when they come to the plate, just like the current pitching staff is when they take the field.
SCREW A-ROD! I WANT ANDY PETTITE BACK!
update: OK, now the NY Times got it, so I'm guessing it's a done deal, since they have the lousiest sports desk of all NY papers. So, as of now, while I'm waiting for the coffee to perk, is the potential Opening Day batting order:
1-CF: Lofton
2-SS: Jeets
3-3B: A-Rod
4-RF: Sheffield
5-1B: RhoidBoy
6-DH: Bernie
7-C: Posada
8-LF: Matsui
9-2B: whoever
