It's just a "B" game, and not even officially a Spring Training tilt. And, it's against the Twins—the first of 842 skirmishes with our Mayor's Cup rivals. But it is baseball—live baseball. And today offers our first chance to see a Bobby Valentine line-up. The Red Sox will lead-off with shortstop of the (near?) future Jose Iglesias, followed by Che-Hsuan Lin hitting second in right, Ryan Lavarnway catching and hitting third, Josh Kroeger DH'ing in the clean-up spot, Will Middlebrooks hitting fifth at third base, Lars Anderson hitting sixth at first base, Jason Repko in center field hitting seventh, Oscar Tejeda at second base hitting eighth and Alex Hassan in left field hitting ninth. Alfredo Aceves will start on the mound for Boston.
