Jeter is DHing, Nix is in, A-Rod is down to 5th in favor of Tex at #4, and Ibanez is not in it.
1- Derek Jeter, DH
2- Ichiro Suzuki, LF
3- Mark Teixeira, 1B
4- Robinson Cano, 2B
5- Alex Rodriguez, 3B
6- Nick Swisher, RF
7- Russell Martin, C
8- Curtis Granderson, CF
9- Jayson Nix, SS
I would have started Raul Ibanez because he's hitting well right now, even against the lefthander Joe Saunders on the mound. He's a soft-tosser anyway, so I don't think it would have affected him much. Oh well. It will just give him another opportunity for pinch-hit devastation. It's not a big deal anyway since I understand the need to shore up outfield defense with Phil Hughes on the mound and Jeter needing to be at DH due to the bone bruise on his foot.
