Another Round Of Blind Home Run Derby (Now With Lineup!)

UPDATED WITH ACTUAL LINEUP

This way, those of you at work, can submit your selections right now.

While I don’t have the lineup yet, I can tell you that DH-OF Andruw Jones is 15-for-45 with six homers in his career against Boston RHP Brad Penny and INF Omar Vizquel is 10-for-33 with one homer. Also of significance: 3B Michael Young is 5-for-7 against Penny, but has never homered.

Actually, neither Jones nor Vizquel is playing. Little surprised about Jones, but manager Ron Washington said he is planning to play Jones against LHP Jon Lester on Saturday and I guess he didn’t want Hank Blalock sitting on consecutive days. Blalock is 3-for-7 (all singles) against Penny. So here’s the lineup:

2B Ian Kinsler, 3B Michael Young DH Hank Blalock, RF Nelson Cruz, LF David Murphy, CF Marlon Byrd, 1B Chris Davis, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, SS Elvis Andrus and pitching for the Rangers … RHP Kevin Millwood.
