The Javelinas are on Gameday

Portland's Jose Iglesias at shortstop and batting fifth and Portland's Ryan Lavarnway catching and batting third.

Iglesias boasts a modest small-sample slash-line of .333/.353/.333/.686. Of course, Iglesias's value resides primarily in his defense, where he is reputed to be a purveyor of "baseball porn," per Keith Law. Lavarnway is boasts a .333/.538/.778/1.316 slash-line. Again, small-sample - so simmer down. Juan Carlos Linares is not slated to appear, but Sox prospect Jason Rice and Seth Garrison could appear in relief. No Casey Kelly today.

The Solar Sox feature "name" players Tony Sanchez (of Pittsburgh), Josh Vitters (of the Cubs), and Brandon "Flaccid" Wood (of Orange County of Los Angeles at Anaheim in California on Earth).
