	2008 New York Yankees Roster The 2008 New York Yankees team roster seen on this page includes every player who appeared in a game during the 2008 season. It is a comprehensive team roster and player names are sorted by the fielding position where the most number of games were played during the regular season. Every player's name links to their career statistics. Below the main roster you will find in the Fast Facts section: a 2008 New York Yankees Opening Day starters list, a 2008 New York Yankees salary list, a 2008 New York Yankees uniform number breakdown and a 2008 New York Yankees primary starters list. These team rosters are presented only when and where the data is available. "When we (the 2008 New York Yankees) went into Spring Training, I thought we'd be playing October 1st. I really did. That's hard to swallow, because you look forward to that baseball in the crisp air. There's something about it that you love." - New York Yankees Manager Joe Girardi on MLB.com (Bryan Hoch, 09/28/08) Please consider sponsoring this page which is available.
