Are You Ready For Some Baseball???
The Red Sox lineups have been announced for the annual “Embarrass the Lace-Curtain College Mofos” event in Ft. Myers on Wednesday.
The starters for the double-header will be:
| vs Northeastern U | vs Boston College | |||
| Jacoby Ellsbury | LF | Marco Scutaro | SS | |
| Bill Hall | 3B | Dustin Pedroia | 2B | |
| Victor Martinez | C | Kevin Youkilis | 1B | |
| David Ortiz | DH | Adrian Beltre | 3B | |
| Jed Lowrie | SS | Jason Varitek | C | |
| Lars Anderson | 1B | Jeremy Hermida | LF | |
| Darnell McDonald | RF | Tud Hulett | DH | |
| Che-Hsuan Lin | CF | Josh Reddick | RF | |
| Gil Velazquez | 2B | Ryan Kalish | CF | |
| Casey Kelly | P | Boof Bonser | P | |
The more interesting lineup from my perspective is the one facing the Huskies, with notable prospects starting at 1B, CF, and P.
If you’re wondering who Darnell McDonald is, he’s a 31-year-old outfielder who has spent most of the past 9 years in AAA.
Gosh, to read Darnell’s bio on that stupid wikopedia, it makes it sound like a Disney movie in the making. Good luck Darnell!
Yup. I would say he’s probably the 7th outfielder on the MLB depth chart right now, so the chances of him getting out of AAA for a prolonged period of time are slim, but at least he will have a chance to experience the beauty and wonder that is the Pawtucket/Central Falls corridor of northern Rhode Island.
