Your actual prediction is depressing. I'll take your dream lineup.
I still don't know if i can trust Nady to be as productive as he was with the Pirates last year... he's always been good, but not 330. BA good...
and Brett Gardner is a toss up, not a bad option for CF... better than Melky if you ask me.
I do think they'll deal Hideki Matsui to a team he likes before the season begins though
