Validating The Lineup

That's what Mark Texeira would do for this lineup for next year and beyond. Is a team going to pitch to ARod fearful they may have to deal with Matsui, Posada or Nady? Based on talent and age this guy is a top 10 hitter in baseball. Most of the corp hitters in this lineup are mid 30's and beyond. You have to look beyond this season as you continue to construct your roster. Tex, by the way, has hit .324 with RISP during his career and Swisher .221. And for those say Posada or Jeter may eventually have to play first base I say that every great hitting catcher in baseball has been washed up offensively by 36 and don't want Jeter on the downside of his career at a corner infield position where you like to get some power numbers.
