With each new lineup, it becomes less and less clear how John Farrell actually intends to order his starting nine come the regular season. Clearly Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, and Mike Napoli will be all in a row starting at either the two or three spot, but that's about all we can be sure of. Is Grady Sizemore going to be in there, or Jackie Bradley Jr.? If it's Sizemore, will he be batting leadoff, or will it be Daniel Nava or Shane Victorino? Does Bogaerts bat ahead of Pierzynski? Does Middlebrooks?

He's been bouncing around on all these points so far this spring, and based on shows no signs of stopping. Not that that's a problem, really.

First pitch will be at 1:05 p.m. EST, with ESPN providing a broadcast that just about all of us should have access to, barring prior obligations.
