The outfield isn't even a question, especially with Swisher playing like garbage but I'd rather have Posada when he's performing at the level he's supposed to. That doesn't include that I'd take the Yankees rotation over the Phils any day.

But even then, his defensive sucks and there isn't a guy around who is more clueless than him on the bases (not to mention that he has to be one of the slowest guys in the league).

Posada is the catcher right? I'll take Ruiz for sure.

The three best postseason players so far have been Ryan Howard, A-roid, and Ruiz. Hands down. Ruiz has been unbelievable.

4 or 5 for the Yankees.

I'll give you that for the most part... Cliff Lee (in the post season) has pitched as well or better than ANYONE. Pedro has been AWESOME for us this year and completely shut down the Dodgers... I really hope they use him for a start.

Hamels has been garbage and shouldnt even get a start but he will. I love Blanton.. I know Chuck disagree's but Blanton is our bulldog and I trust him in the Series. Happ had a great year... was voted best rookie by his peers.. I bet he wont start but he will be fine out of the pen (he hasnt been great out of the pen yet but he's got a real bad deal by some umps so far.. hitting the corners and getting balls called).

Our rotation is NOT a weak spot at all.. though Yankee's is better for the most part. One thing yankees should hope they dont have to pitch CC three times... i just have a good (bad for yankee fans) feeling about that.

Our bullpen is the weak spot.. though Durbin has been great so far in the post.. Eyre is solid.. Madson had choked.. Chan Ho Park has been good.. somehow Lidge has been saving games but I expect him to blow one though I pray he doesnt.

If Lidge blows even one save the Yankees will win the series.
