Jon Lester's final tuneup of the spring comes against AL East foe Baltimore.
Here's the lineup backing him up in Sarasota today:
- Scutaro SS
- Pedroia 2B
- Martinez C
- Youkilis 1B
- Ortiz DH
- Drew RF
- Lowell 3B
- Reddick LF
- Lin CF
Expected in relief: Alan Embree, Scott Schoeneweis and Joe Nelson.
Looks like a pretty good lineup traveled to Sarasota today. The only regulars out are Adrian Beltre, Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Cameron. ... This would be a nice game to watch on TV just because I'd like to see Lin play centerfield. Unfortunately, no coverage today. ... Lowell will play third base to hopefully increase his trade value. That, though, is a longshot.
