  1. Pretty close!
    I've been saying the Sox may be the first playoff team to use a lineup it never used during the season. This one is the closest I've seen in a long while (though no Drew, and some could argue Crisp has beat out Ellsbury at least for now). It's nice to see for once, our best foot forward (well, mostly!).
    Start the debate. What is our best lineup for the playoffs? Tito sure hasn't ever told us.
    Here's mine:
    vs. Righties:
    Ellsbury, Pedroia, Ortiz, Youk, Drew, Bay, Lowell, Lowrie, Tek.
    Vs. Lefties:
    Crisp, Pedroia, Ortiz, Youk, Bay, Lowell, Drew, Lowrie, Tek

    Chad... come on you know you have yours!
