The Rockies have had so much success against the White Sox in Cactus League play that they don't even bother trotting out a major league lineup anymore. With Ian Stewart being scratched with a strained right biceps, what was already a questionable starting nine got a little more cloudy:
2B Eric Young Jr.
LF Scott Podsednik
3B Christian Colonel
DH Jeff Baker
CF Carlos Gonzalez
C Yorvit Torrealba
1B Joe Koshansky
RF Daniel Ortmeier
SS Omar Quintanilla
Although it's not like the White Sox are making much more of an attempt to impress their home fans:
CF Dewayne Wise
RF Brian Anderson
1B Paul Knoerko
SS Wilson Betemit
LF Josh Kroeger
3B Dayan Viciedo
DH Brandon Allen
C Corky Miller
2B Brent Lillibridge
At least prospect watchers might get some kick out of this. In addition to the "teenager" Viciedo, 2008 White Sox first round pick Gordon Beckham is also supposed to play today.
According to Patrick Saunders, Hirsh will be followed by Franklin Morales, Huston Street and Taylor Buchholz. That still probably leaves us an arm or two short, so I guess we'll have to wait and see who comes in after that.
