The interesting part is that Adam Lind is going to play against the lefty Zito. And the way he is swinging the bat, I'm not against giving him a shot. Basically they are replacing Bonifacio's bat with Lind's and even against a lefty, Lind is likely better with the bat.

The infield defense will be awful. I haven't been impressed with Izturis at short, but he looks to be the best defensive player on the infield today. Lind is ok at first. I really don't like DeRosa playing second, but then Bonifacio isn't exactly Robby Alomar. And we all know about Edwin's defensive stylings at third.

I'm a little curious that Gibbons didn't decide to put Bonifacio into center field over Rasmus, though, with the pretty large area to cover, I think I'd rather have Rasmus too.

Dickey isn't going to have to get some strikeouts today, because I can foresee a high BABIP today.
