Tuesday night's Red Sox lineup, with a future Hall of Famer pitching for the other team:

1. Pedro Ciriaco (93 OPS+)
2. Daniel Nava (96)
3. Cody Ross (107)
4. Mauro Gomez (95)
5. Ryan Lavarnway (45)
6. J'rr'd S'lt'l'm'cchia (89)
7. Danny Valencia (89)
8. Che Hsuan-Lin (-40)
9. Jose Iglesias (22)

One above-average hitter in the whole bunch. At best. Doesn't mean they can't win. Just means they probably won't.

Lots of jokes about Red Sox tonight. Here's one of the best:

In spring training, MLB rules dictate you bring four "regular players" on road trips.This #RedSox lineup would draw a reprimand.
