New York Yankees: All-time switch hitter team

Lineup

Here is the New York Yankees all-time switch hitter batting order.

1. Tim Raines – LF
2. Mark Koenig – SS
3. Mickey Mantle – CF
4. Mark Teixeira – 1B
5. Bernie Williams – DH
6. Nick Swisher – RF
7. Jorge Posada – C
8. Chase Headley – 3B
9. Horace Clarke – 2B

Putting it all together, this would be one heck of a lineup even if everyone wasn’t a switch hitter. Raines and Koenig set the table for a switch hit Murderers Row of Mantle, Teixeira, Williams, Swisher, and Posada. The defense is okay and is more than supplemented by the team’s hitting prowess.

With a lineup that good, and all switch hitters, there isn’t any need to pinch-hit (except for maybe Clarke). So the bench players are a defensive complement to this fantastic hitting team.
