He's not Eric Patterson, but he's as close as we're getting this year.
Interestingly, he'll be playing right field instead of Darnell McDonald against southpaw Matt Harrison. Does this represent a long-term changing of the "vs. LHP" depth chart? We'll see.
They'll have John Lackey on the mound. It's been a while since he's had a really good start, but he's also avoided disaster for the last couple of months.
The same can not be said for Matt Harrison. In his last start he gave up seven runs in five innings...to the Red Sox.
Go Sox!
