Is that Cody Ross? He's your starting LF or just playing there today?

He's not the worst but he's not going to give any protection to Ortiz. Seems like there's no other option.
Those bottom three aren't very good. I'm surprised you guys are going into the season so weak at the corner OF positions.

Responses:

He's the starting LF while Crawford is on the DL, yes. Once Crawford comes back, he platoons with Sweeney in RF. -- nm - TFox Mar 27, 07:56 10
- I knew something didn't look right, I forgot about Crawford. Now that lineup isn't so bad at the bottom. - Krusty Mar 27, 07:59 9

        would i dodge the zone on Crawford, walk him, and let him loose to run? no. - TFox Mar 27, 08:06 5
        
        If he's proving he can run....but for an all-world guy, he couldn't cover left field in Fenway last year. - Will Hunting Mar 27, 08:16

        I don't think his speed went anywhere as much as his on-base chances were reduced. - TFox Mar 27, 08:17 2
        
        You have a different opinion than anyone else I've read; - Will Hunting Mar 27, 08:18 1
        
        fangraphs has his speed scouting report in 2011 down to an 86 from 90/91 the prior two years. - TFox Mar 27, 08:21
