Wilson Betemit is not the Yankees 1B, he has 1 or 2 career games at the position. It's mostly Andy Phillips.
Johnny Damon is not the CF, it is Melky...who is certainly better than Crisp.
The Sox 5th starter is Lester, not Taveraz.
And the Yankees 7th inning guy is Joba, no Farnsworthless anymore.

Career wise, I'd chose Manny. But I'm not entirely convinced that 2007 Manny is the same as 1993-2006 Manny. His bat speed has seemed to really slow down and he's not killing the same mistakes he used to.

It'll probably be Ramirez, but it's Matsui right now.
