Starting Lineup

The Red Sox website posted this starting lineup for Monday in NY. Ellsbury CF, Victorino RF, Pedroia 2B, Napoli 1B, Middlebrooks 3B, Gomes DH, Saltie C, Bradley Jr. LF, Iglesias SS, Lester SP. If the Sox own website put Junior in the lineup, I guess the question of Jr. making the team is over. Without Ortiz there is a definite lack of power. I'd rather see Victorino bat 9th & move everyone else up a spot. But, no matter, you have to score runs. It should be a good 1st series to see if the Sox can beat the Yankee replacements for Granderson, A-Rod, Teixeira & a wabbly Jeter. It will be interesting to see Youk in pinstripes as well. Let's get it started!
