   Why would the Yanks want Swisher to get more at-bats than Teixeira. Swisher is a good hitter but is very inferior to Tex.

     Agreed. But I like the Tex-Arod 3-4.

     Totally agree re: Swisher.

     I’d rather hit A-Rod third and Tex fourth, but I can understand the left-right-switch-right aspect as well.

   I understand the AB argument, but to stretch out the lineup and offer A-Rod a great form of protection, I think that Swisher in the 3-hole would work and Teixeira in the 5-hole would work. Swisher is a good base runner and he’s a great on-base guy which would serve the lineup well.

   I will say that a healthy Hideki Matsui is more than fine hitting fifth.

     Nah, I believe RAB had this one before we did.

   If there was no such thing as Free agency and agents the batting order would read:

   Gardner-
   Jeter
   Damon
   Tex
   ARod
   or
   AROD
   Tex
