Let's see the breakdown, shall we?
1B - Jay Gibbons vs. Tino Martinez: Very slight edge to Tino.
2B - Brian Roberts vs. Tony Womack: You're kidding me, right?
3B - Melvin Mora vs. Alex Rodriguez: Edge to A-Rod, but if they each repeat their stats from last year, that changes.
SS - Miguel Tejada vs. Derek Jeter: Anyone that says Jeter also thinks Phil Rizzuto deserves to be a Hall-of-Famer.
LF - Larry Bigbie vs. Hideki Matsui: Big edge to Matsui.
CF - Luis Matos vs. Bernie Williams: very slight edge to Bernie, based on his career, but that's the only way.
RF - Sammy Sosa vs. Gary Sheffield: Edge to Sheffield.
C - Javy Lopez vs. Jorge Posada: Draw
DH - Rafael Palmeiro vs. Jason Giambi: Neither is any good anymore, so call it a draw.
The Yankees have a slightly better lineup, but your statement...just...no.
