Red Sox not messing around against Yankees today
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. Stephen Drew, SS
4. Mike Napoli, 1B
5. Daniel Nava, LF
6. Will Middlebrooks, 3B
7. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, DH
8. David Ross, C
9. Jackie Bradley, RF
Ryan Dempster, SP
Stephen Drew is unlikely to see the top half of the lineup (unless he has a great first half of the season), and we can safely say Jackie Bradley won't be starting in right field for some time. Other than that, this lineup is close to what we will be seeing come April. It will be interesting to see how Middlebrooks responds to his sore wrist, and how Ryan Dempster handles an AL East lineup -- albeit for only a few innings.
