My Lineup would be  1. Jeter, 2. Abreu, 3. Rodriguez, 4. Giambi, 5. Cano, 6. Posada, 7. Matsui, 8. Cabrerra, Mietkievicz, Phillips, 9. Damon.  Why, because Damon’s OBP is really not that great and Jeter, Abreu, Rodriguez and Giambi (and Posada) are OBP machines and should be at the top.  Mix in Cano for a little added power.   Damon at the bottom adds more speed in front of Jeter etc.  No way Damon bats ninth, but numbers don’t lie.  His OBP is not that great. Of Course if you flip Damon to the top of the order it still works.  Imagine, Matsui batting 8th! Man.  Â
