Opening Day Lineup

Here is tonight's lineup.  This is the first time all spring Girardi has all the regulars playing together.  It looks like this will be the starting lineup for opening day and Jeter will stay in the leadoff spot with Swisher backing him up in the 2 hole.  This lineup could be altered during games when the Yankees are facing left handed pitchers though.  Andrew Jones will most likely get the start in some of those games.

Derek Jeter SS
Nick Swisher RF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Robinson Cano 2B
Jorge Posada DH
Curtis Granderson CF
Russell Martin C
Brett Gardner LF

Ivan Nova is tonight's starting pitcher and this is a big game for him.  Last game he was unable to make it through the third inning because he threw too many pitches.  He threw about 60-65 pitches last outing and the Yankees will allow him to throw as many as 80 pitches tonight.  He needs to make it further in the game tonight, which shouldn't be too difficult as they are playing the Orioles who are not carrying all their starters.  This is supernova's chance to make his case as the #5 starter.
