Now that the Captain is gone for the year and the ghost of playoffs past stayed in the old stadium, lets blow up the line up and start over.

Joe Girardi said the team needs to make adjustments, so I am hear to advocate said adjustments. The season is not over and it can all change with a win on Tuesday. A-Rod is having a bad series and he might not be 100% healthy. That said all they need is one win to turn it around.

Since no one is hitting, lets change the line up 1-9. Career vs Verlander

1. Ichiro Suzuki RF 17-55 with 1 HR and 6 RBI
2. Alex Rodriguez 3B 8-24 with 3 HR and 7 RBI
3. Robinson Cano 2B 7-31
4. Mark Teixeira 1B 3-21with 1 HR and 4 RBI
5. Raul Ibanez DH 3-21
6. Russell Martin C 5-12 with one HR
7. Curtis Granderson CF 3-16 one HR
8. Jayson Nix SS 1-11
9. Brett Gardner LF  3-8
