Didn't we play this game last year? I have the answers-

Johnny Damon will end up in Detroit.
Hideki Matsui goes to the Angels.
Gardner gets left field after Granderson is acquired and Melky is traded to Atlanta.
Phil Hughes is the fifth starter.
Cano bats 5th and handles it easily.

What do I win?
