Game 124: Oh God, Is It Really Miller Time Again?

By Ben Buchanan

Spare me, please. If not just from Miller, then from this lineup.

Lineup

BOSTON RED SOX KANSAS CITY ROYALS
Jacoby Ellsbury - CF Alex Gordon - LF
Mike Aviles - SS Melky Cabrera - CF
Adrian Gonzalez - 1B Billy Butler - DH
Dustin Pedroia - 2B Eric Hosmer - 1B
Jed Lowrie - 3B Jeff Francoeur - RF
Ryan Lavarnway - DH Johnny Giavotella - 2B
Carl Crawford - LF Brayan Pena - C
Jarrod Saltalamacchia - C Mike Moustakas - 3B
Darnell McDonald - RF Alcides Escobar - SS

Long story short: yeah, it's a bit of a train wreck. Aviles second? McDonald period? Man, if we weren't injured, I'd be flipping out. But we are, so we work with what we've got.

At least Francis has nice big splits for the weird lineup to work with?
