I think that Tavarez may not be available physically. Because Tito selected both Gagne and Snyder over him and Tavarez seemed to be a no-brainer for the WS games in Denver.
In game 3 at Coors Field, who sits for the Red Sox, Youkilis, Ortiz, or Lowell? Youk had a hot bat in the ALCS. Ortiz big bat protects Manny as Manny bat protects Ortiz, and taking Lowell's out of the line up hurts too.
Youk and Lowell are interchangeable at third. I don't think you put Ortiz anywhere else except at first base. Will Francona put Lowell or Youk in the outfield?
This will probably come down to game day decisions by Francona. Tito should start the 2 hottest bats.
What say you?
