Johnny Damon and Xavier Nady are the clear frontrunners to start in left and right field, respectively. Melky Cabrera edged out Hideki Matsui for the final starting role, only by a couple of votes though.
Johnny Damon: 17/21
Xavier Nady: 16/21
Melky Cabrera: 10/21
Hideki Matsui: 8/21
Brett Gardner: 7/21
Nick Swisher: 7/21
Austin Jackson: 2/21
If my poll holds true, that leaves Matsui and Swisher in a battle for the DH spot. Gardner will probably end up a late inning pinch runner/defensive replacement. Jackson will hopefully find an opportunity to play sooner rather than later - he's a stud!
My next poll is a toughy so I'm allowing a week and a half to vote.

I'm surprised Melky did so well in the poll, after his performance last year. I wonder if the vote was an enthusiastic endorsement of Melky or an indication of "who-else-do-we-got"?
