IT'S THE SIN OF OMMISSION THAT'LL KILL YA:
Big Papi at first, Youkilis to bench as Red Sox deal with NL rules (AP, 10/26/07)
David Ortiz will play first base for Boston when the World Series resumes Saturday night, and Kevin Youkilis will be benched as the Red Sox adjust to life without a designated hitter.Mike Lowell will remain at third for the Red Sox, who have a 2-0 Series lead against the Colorado Rockies.
You could really rest them for one game apiece and it wouldn't make a lick of difference which alignment you had. The more interesting decision is to play Manny in LF for three games in Colorado where he could be a horror show. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 26, 2007 8:29 PM

Rockies horror show, eh? I get the picture.
