As promised, here's what I see as the Sox lineup against a lefty starter.
1) Dustin Pedroia - 2B
2) Jacoby Ellsbury - CF
3) Adrian Gonzalez - 1B
4) Kevin Youkilis - 3B
5) David Ortiz - DH
6) Cody Ross - RF
7) Kelly Shoppach - C
8) Darnelle McDonald - LF
9) Mike Aviles - SS
The Sox have a number of lefty/righty combos to utilize like Aviles/Punto, Ross/Sweeney & Salty/Shoppach. Once Crawford is back I'd even see Bobby V. using a Crawford/McDonald tandem for awhile to ease Crawford's wrist back into swinging.
I think there is a lot of versatility on this team as compared to prior years.
