Ive got Grady Siezmore, Hideki Matsui and Carlos Quentin in my OF. Curtis Granderson is my Utility guy. BJ Upton is on my bench bc of his minor injury. But im thinking about going with Nelson Cruz over Quentin. Cruz has been crushing the ball this spring and he is hitting behind Josh Hamilton. Any thoughts?

Absolutely do not bench Quentin in favor of Cruz. I would start the year w/ Cruz on the bench. If you really want Cruz in the lineup starting week one then bench Matsui, but not Quentin.

Cruz over Hideki, absolutely. Leave Quentin in.

Really? Matsui is batting cleanup behind Texiera, and the Yanks are playing Baltimore and Kansas City. Considering the matchups doest that make Matsui desirable. I just figured that the Yanks should put up big numbers esp. for godzilla being that hes at the cleanup spot? seems like a tough decision.

Spring Training stats mean NOTHING. Go with Quentin, Sizemore, Matsui. Of course, if you think weather is going to be a problem (The White Sox are already snowed out Monday), then go with Cruz over Quentin.
