Boston Red Sox vs New York Mets Spring Training 3-16-11

Anyone watch baseball in Boston on St. Patrick’s Day?  Is this blog post an utter exercise in futility?  Well, we’ll see.  Here is today’s lineup:

Let’s pay special attention to Francona’s approach to the Ellsbury/Crawford order in the lineup.  Both men have amazing speed and on-base skills so these two men could steal 6 or 7 bases today if they both get on a lot.  There is the chance for lots of hit and run action, but the Sox are missing Gonzalez, Youkilis and Ortiz from the lineup today so the big RBI bats behind them are missing.

Ellsbury CF

Crawford LF

Cameron DH

Lowrie SS

Drew RF

Hoover C

Anderson 1B

Sutton 3B

Spears

Lackey SP
