Predicting Yankees' 2015 Starting Lineup After Winter Meetings
The New York Yankees made some big splashes last season to bolster their lineup. Thanks to injuries and general ineffectiveness, it was a rough season. For the first time since 1995, Derek Jeter will not be in their opening day lineup. This will look like a totally different Yankee team. Here is their 2015 opening day lineup (hopefully).
1. CF Jacoby Ellsbury

Mark Teixeira is one player who nobody knows exactly what to of expect this season. He can bounce back if he can put a full season together. His .216 average in 2014 was by far the worst of his career, but he still has one of the best power bats in the lineup.
