Jeter Won't Lead Off In Opener
Oct 21, 2014 6:37 PM
Derek Jeter will hit second for the Yankees on Thursday in the team's season opener against the Tigers.
New York manager Joe Girardi has decided to put outfielder Brett Gardner in the lead off spot. Girardi will use the lineup regularly against right-handing pitching.
When the Yankees face a lefty, Gardner will hit ninth and Jeter will lead off.
