What the Red Sox lineup could look like in 2013 based on the early assembly of the roster:
| CF | Jacoby Ellsbury | He will be a free agent after the season, which should provide plenty of motivation |
| RF | Shane Victorino | Switch hitter with speed, fits in well hitting second in this lineup |
| 2B | Dustin Pedroia | If healthy, he could chase another MVP; he is tired of losing |
| DH | David Ortiz | He has the two-year contract he wanted, now he has to keep producing |
| 1B | Mike Napoli | He has a swing made for Fenway Park, but first base could be a challenge defensively |
| 3B | Will Middlebrooks | He created plenty of optimism as a rookie last season |
| LF | Jonny Gomes | Red Sox are hoping this platoon player can play every day |
| C | Jarrod Saltalamacchia | Or maybe it’s Ryan Lavarnway, with a lot of David Ross (stay tuned) |
| SS | Jose Iglesias | The defensive whiz has to prove he can hit in the majors, at least a little |
