Really, this is an excellent lineup. OBP masters at the top, mashers in the middle, and 2 speed guys at the bottom that can make things happen on the base paths. Ellsbury wouldn’t have free reign to steal if he was table setting for Ortiz and Ramirez, this should maximized his value while taking a bit of pressure off the rookie CF.
Three hours till game time, tick tick tick…
