cmon it's the last game of the series. We all know the kind of lineup you get on getaway day. The only positive is going against a guy making his second start. Not sure why matt isn't playing and hitting third.
the other issue with DK at 3 is it gives you lefties at 2, 3 ,4 and even Victor hits better from the left side. So a close game the Sox can bring in a lefty for 4 batters.
I doubt that Leyland is above pinch hitting for DK, if said lefty were to come in to face him. I mean, I'm me, and I'd still have to think about it. Nice work the man at second Ricky...
