Today's starting lineup

As for the lineup, looks like a lot of the fringe and potential utility guys are getting the start today. I can't be teh only one hoping for a breakout season from The Attach v2.0, can I? Here's the full lineup - and unlike the lowly pitchers, the lineup gets a fancy picture courtesy of @Indians:

Lastly, In LGFT news of the day, Justin Masterson makes his first start back with the Boston Red Sox. We officially hate him now, right? But anyway...

Let's Go Tribe!
