Opening Day Starting Lineup



What is everyone's dream starting lineup now that we have Crawford and Gonzalez? Here's how I would play it:

1) Crawford

2) Pedroia

3) Gonzalez

4) Youkilis

5) Ortiz

6) Drew

7) Scoot

8) Salty/Tek

9) Ellsbury

I like the speed combination of Ellsbury/Crawford at the 9 and 1 spots. I know this is not a probable lineup but you have a good combination of going from L/R hitters making it tough for opposing managers and their relievers. I still don't understand why everyone says Crawford is a #2 hitter instead of leadoff. The man has won the stolen base title 4 yrs.
