PrintBaseball is back!
Maybe it's not real baseball, but it's the best we've got, baby.
The Sox open Cactus League play today by traveling to Tempe to take on the Angels. It looks like the Sox are sending their projected opening day lineup (minus Paul Konerko). Clayton Richard gets the start, with a parade of pitchers behind him.
Seriously, he's scheduled to be followed by Octavio Dotel, Matt Thornton, somebody named Randy Williams, Jon Link, Lucas Harrell, Brad Salmon and Ehren Wassermann.
Still, I'm vaguely excited. Go Sox! (for three and a half innings)

merkin
—Josh Fields showed speed absent from the past two years when he beat out an infield grounder to shortstop Hainley Statia with one out in the second. Fields also made a slick play on Mike Napoli’s grounder leading off the second.
—Clayton Richard threw strikes and kept the ball down. We haven’t talked to him yet, but judging by the goals he told me about yesterday for his first start, I’m guessing the southpaw will be pleased with this opening effort.
—Chris Getz twice moved well to his left to handle ground balls. Jermaine Dye and Owens made nice running catches in the outfield, both running into the wall after the fact.
