Predicted Starting Lineups and Rotations for Yankees and Mets

With spring training activities starting soon, most teams are just a few last minute free agent signings away from being ready for the 2014 season. The Yankees have spent enough money this offseason and should resist the Masahiro Tanaka sweepstakes, or any other expensive pitcher still avaliable. For the Mets, we all already know that they don't like giving out big contracts anymore, and after giving each Curtis Granderson and Bartolo Colon decent-sized contracts, the only spending left for them to do is for the bullpen. With that, here are my final 2014 New York Yankees and Mets.

Lineup:
Jacoby Ellsbury* CF
Derek Jeter SS
Carlos Beltran* RF
Brian McCann* C
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alfonso Soriano DH
Kelly Johnson* 3B
Brian Roberts* 2B
Brett Gardner LF
(Brendan Ryan, Ichiro Suzuki, Austin Romine, and Eduardo Nunez are on the bench)

Rotation:
C.C. Sabathia
Hiroki Kuroda
Ivan Nova
Michael Pineda
Adam Warren

For the bullpen, David Robertson is the closer

Lineup:
Curtis Granderson* LF
Daniel Murphy 2B
David Wright 3B
Chris Young* RF
Lucas Duda 1B
Travis d'Arnaud C
Juan Lagares CF
Ruben Tejada SS
Pitcher Spot
(Ike Davis, Eric Young, Anthony Recker, and Josh Satin make up the bench)

Rotation(Unfortunately, no Matt Harvey):
Bartolo Colon*                                        
                                                                                                        Jonathan Niese
                                                                                                        Dillon Gee
                                                                                                        Zack Wheeler
                                                                                                        Jenry Mejia

The Mets shouldn't rely on Bobby Parnell as their closer. Andrew Bailey, who is the cheapest closer still avaliable, would be a good fit as closer for the Mets
