The New York Yankees could use Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner at the top of their batting order in 2015.

"It's definitely a possibility," Joe Girardi said. "I think that both of them are capable of leading off. Ells has done it a little more in his career than Gardy, but I just kind of like the combination of those two guys together."

Girardi put Ellsbury and Gardner at the top of New York's order during a spring game on Tuesday.
