Here is the lineup for today’s spring training game against the Twins. And since it is against the Twins, it also means that the MAYOR’S CUP begins! Both the Twins and the Sox are in Fort Myers and whoever takes the series in Spring Training wins the Mayor’s Cup. The Twins won the Mayor’s Cup last year, but the Sox have won the Mayor’s Cup the last few years before that….and hope to take it again this year!
Pedroia 2B
Ellsbury CF
Ross RF
Gonzalez 1B
Aviles SS
Saltalamacchia C
McDonald LF
Middlebrooks 5
Linares DH
Beckett SP (followed by Miller, Melancon, Thomas, Pena and Atchison)
Game starts at 1:35pm and is being carried by NESN. If you happen to have mlb.tv you can check out the game there as well. Baseball on my tv (or computer) is a beautiful thing.
Pedey hitting leadoff and Ells in the 2 hole. Interesting.
