Red Sox Beat Yankees in the season opener | Red Sox set for big stage

Both teams had been the classic busy offseason, but the Yankees in less traditional ways. One summer, after they shelled out $ 423.5 contract Teixeria, Sabathia and AJ Burnett, general manager Brian Cashman and the Yankees closed their checkbook and took the phone.



The Red Sox, instead, marbled attitude and style in their team, although their list is far from revolutionary. Departing from his free-swinging days in 2004, to Boston all ears build a cynical team to withstand abrasive regular season.

Despite the signing and export of a few famous 2010 Yankees look very similar to the 2009 World Finals roster. Granderson will be the only new face in the area, and the core of Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettit and Mariano Rivera will together turn around and run for their sixth final.

The Red Sox opted to let Jason Bay and his 36 Homer go to the Mets, instead signing expert cynical Center Fielder Mike Cameron to help some Jacoby Ellsbury in the path. They opened their wallets for John Lackey, tent free-agent pitcher in the offseason, signing him to a 82.5 one million dollars U.S. agreement. They replace Mike Lowell, the hero of the 2007 World Series at third base Gold Glove winner Adrian Beltre.

Sunday night's game between the storied licenses is the first of the 2010 season, a prime-time stage in itself, while other teams to wait until Monday for opening day.

And New York will start as defensive masterpiece for the first time since the 2001 opening.
