The First Red Sox Lineup of 2008

Posted by redsoxstats on March 25, 2008

Red Sox vs. Oakland, March 25, 6AM ET

Pedroia 2B
Youkilis 1B
Ortiz DH
Ramirez LF
Lowell 3B
Drew RF
Varitek C
Ellsbury CF
Lugo SS

Matsuzaka SP

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…
