old news but he can't hit lefties anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Read a piece where the author said it seems like Acta has them (unlike Wedge) positioned to get off to a faster start. We'll see....

On paper, Chicago is looking like they are going to have a big year with the additions they have made.

I am looking forward to seeing what Juan Pierre can do and what Beckham will bring to the table in his first full season.

Projected Starting Lineups for both teams.

Chicago

1 - Juan Pierre
2 - Gordon Beckham
3 - Carlos Quentin
4 - Paul Konerko
5 - Mark Kotsay
6 - Alex Rios
7 - AJ Pierzynski
8 - Mark Teahen
9 - Alexi Ramirez

Cleveland

1 - Asdrubal Cabrera
2 - Grady Sizemore
3 - Shin Soo Choo
4 - Travis Hafner
5 - Jhonny Peralta
6 - Matt LaPorta
7 - Mark Grudzielanek
8 - Lou Marson
9 - Michael Brantley

Don't like the 3 lefties in a row (2-5) in the Tribe's order. That's not good going against a tuff Lefty.

Sucks that Valbuena is out. He crushed the ball in ChiTown last year (mostly Cubs though)

I also dont like the 3 lefties....BUT if Acta is true to a line-up and doesnt shift them around all the time (minues days off etc) I like it. Id rather a set line-up regardless than a line-up that tried to mix and match based on the pitcher.

Indians go 1-2-3 in the 1st.

Quentin gets a 2 out double and Konerko jacked one into the RF bullpen to make it 2-0 Sox, bottom 1st.

Welcome to 2010!

You may not want to. Westbrook is gonna get shelled. Absolutely NO movement on his offspeed pitches and a fastball being clocked at 88-90. Yikes! And this is our "ace"??

Two really good plays from Cleveland's short stop so far.
