I dunno, as noted, plug Crawford in there and the lineup seems fine. If these guys were all at career averages, we wouldn't be having this conversation, I suspect. And it's essentially the same offense that scored plenty of runs last year, without a healthy Youkilis. No reason to think they can't repeat that once they get rolling.

Traditionally, Red Sox bench players would be starters on other teams. But this year has a weak roster: Look at how many players are "Who?" level of players on this team. Our catching core is doomed to bat 8th. Aviles, Punto, McDonald, Ross and Sweeney are either journeymen or unknown. There's simply too many holes. 39 Jarrod Saltalamacchia S-R 6'4" 235 May 2, 1985 10 Kelly Shoppach R-R 6'0" 220 Apr 29, 1980 # Infielders B/T Ht Wt DOB 3 Mike Aviles R-R 5'10" 205 Mar 13, 1981 28 Adrian Gonzalez L-L 6'2" 225 May 8, 1982 15 Dustin Pedroia R-R 5'8" 165 Aug 17, 1983 5 Nick Punto S-R 5'9" 190 Nov 8, 1977 20 Kevin Youkilis R-R 6'1" 220 Mar 15, 1979 # Outfielders B/T Ht Wt DOB 2 Jacoby Ellsbury L-L 6'1" 185 Sep 11, 1983 54 Darnell McDonald R-R 5'11" 205 Nov 17, 1978 7 Cody Ross R-L 5'10" 195 Dec 23, 1980 12 Ryan Sweeney L-L 6'4" 225 Feb 20, 1985 # Designated Hitter B/T Ht Wt DOB 34 David Ortiz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
