Predicting The 2013 Batting Order

Now that we have our primary DH locked up in Travis Hafner I figured now would be a good time to look at the potential batting order for the 2013 season. Now I know that Joe Girardi will flip guys around a lot and this will not be set in stone but let's take a look.

Lineup vs. RHP

1. Derek Jeter (SS)
2. Ichiro Suzuki (RF)
3. Robinson Cano (2B)
4. Mark Teixeira (1B)
5. Kevin Youkilis (3B)
6.Curtis Granderson (LF)
7.Travis Hafner (DH)
8. Brett Gardner (CF)
9. Chris Stewart (C)
