For the fourth straight game,
Stephen Drew (he of the $10 million contract) will
not be in the Red Sox line-up as they take on
Terry Francona and the Indians at Fenway. Moreover,
Xander Bogaerts (for no good earthly reason that
we know of) is also riding the pine this evening. So, your punch-less
Carmine Hose will send out this stellar cast: 1.
Brock Holt, 3B; 2.
Dustin Pedroia, 2B; 3.
David Ortiz, DH; 4.
Mike Napoli, 1B; 5.
Daniel Nava, LF; 6.
Grady Sizemore, RF; 7.
David Ross, C; 8.
Jonathan Herrera, SS and 9.
Jackie Bradley Jr., CF. From the fifth spot on down, this is as weak as we can remember a Red Sox line-up. Boston will send
Jon Lester out to face the Tribe.
