…On the same day the Yankees announce Derek Jeter will begin the season on the disabled list.

Jeter joins fellow All-Stars Alex Rodriguez, Mark Texiera, Curtis Granderson and Phil Hughes on the DL, and their projected opening day lineup looks more like the B Team wandered into an AARP meeting than the financial juggernaut annually crowned by Forbes.

Valued at 1.6 billion dollars, the Bronx Bombers will field a projected opening day line-up sporting a median age of 34 - with only 4 of those 9 players actual intended starters:

Brett Gardner CF
Ichiro Suzuki LF
Robinson Cano 2B
Kevin Youkilis 3B
Travis Hafner DH
Vernon Wells LF
Juan Rivera 1B
Eduardo Nuñez SS
Francisco Cervelli C

CC Sabbathia LHP
