Baseball America projects Yankees 2012 lineup

540045m.jpg

Take it with a grain of salt. This assumes all of the big Yankees prospects pan out and the team makes no trades or free agent signings.

C -- Austin Romine
1B -- Alex Rodriguez
2B -- Robinson Cano
SS -- Derek Jeter
3B -- Bradley Suttle (above)
LF -- Xavier Nady
CF -- Brett Gardner
RF -- Austin Jackson
DH -- Jesus Moreno
Rotation: Joba Chamberlain, Chien-Ming Wang, Andrew Brackman, Dellin Betances, Phil Hughes
Closer: Mark Melancon

Thoughts: Jeter gets to stay at short but Bradley Suttle pushes A-Rod off third? . . . Phil Hughes has moved so far down on the prospects list that he's the No. 5 starter four years from now? . . . Brett Gardner holds onto centerfield and pushes Austin Jackson to right? . . . Xavier Nady is still a Yankee? . . . Good to see Cano worked through his 2008 issues.
