Predict the opening day lineup

Just trying to create a little action over here...

Berroa
Beltran
Sweeney
Gonzalez
Harvey
Randa
Santiago
Guiel

Relaford

w/Brian Anderson the starting pitcher

I know it's tough to say since spring training hasn't even started yet. I'm guessing Harvey will get the nod at DH over Stairs assuming Buerhle, a tough lefty, is the Sox opening day starter.

Hopefully Relaford's healthy, I think he can win back the leadoff role.

SP - That's a toughie, I'll go with Anderson, but May might get a crack at it too. That'd be funny how in one year he went from 5th starter who didn't get a start until 2 weeks in to opening day.

Santiago

The one thing I do know is that Beltran, Sweeney, Gonzalez will bat 2, 3, 4 barring some major change. Baird and Pena have both said on local tv that is their preference. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. I also think, though, that Santiago will be a little higher in the order as he has proved to have a productive bat in the past.
