Pauley starts in place of Beckett

According to reports out of Boston, former Sea Dogs pitcher David Pauley will start for the Boston Red Sox tonight, in place of an ailing Josh Beckett.

Kevin Cash is catching tonight, presumably because Jason Varitek is also still too sick to play.

Pauley made his major league debut in 2006, jumping from Portland to the Sox. He spent all last year with Pawtucket.

In Sea Dogs news, outfielder Jay Johnson did indeed ruptured his Achilles tendon Monday night and is gone for the year.

Here are the Red Sox and Sea Dogs lineups for tonight:

RED SOX
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Manny Ramirez, LF
Kevin Youkilis, 3B
J.D. Drew, RF
Sean Casey, 1B
Kevin Cash, C
Julio Lugo, SS
(David Pauley, P)

SEA DOGS
Bubba Bell, CF
Sean Danielson, RF
Jeff Corsaletti, LF
Sandy Madera, 1B
Aaron Bates, DH
John Otness, C
Andrew Pinckney, 3B
Ryan Khoury, 2B
Iggy Suarez, SS
(Kris Johnson, P)

about Kevin and this blog

Kevin covers baseball for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. He first reported on spring training games for the St. Petersburg Times in 1978. He wisely moved to Maine in 1994 and now writes about the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox—when he's not coaching Little League baseball.

He is married to Nancy, and the couple recently completed their lineup card with the birth of their ninth child.
