Jeter Abreu Giambi A-Rod Matsui Posada Cano Cabrera Phelps/Mientkiewicz That's what I'd do if Damon is put on the DL.
That's how it should be, but Torre doesn't usually do what makes sense. Which means, Cano will leadoff.
Hopefully his thinking is that this is only one game or two at most. The lineup was very good on Monday so why switch anybody else out of position. Hopefully that's what he's thinking.
No, he doesn't care. But a lot of other people do, they think Jeter is this magical force when he bats second (.852 OPS leadoff vs .841 hitting 2nd).
