If we're talking about right now, using current stats, which it seems as if Gehrig is trying to do by including certain players in the lineup, then Granderson needs to be in there somewhere. You can play him at DH over Ortiz or instead of either corner OF. All Yankees outfielders are better than Crawford right now.
I also think Jeter > Scutaro, though it's close. Both are pretty bad with similar stats, but Jeter is a better baserunner and at least has past pedigree that Scutaro doesn't have.
If we're talking about going forward and we have to use the past in our decision, (like a ZIPS ROS type thing) then obviously Reddick, Salty, Scutaro, Ellsbury, and maybe Big Papi all need to go.
