In the season opener, take Evan Longoria against Josh Beckett. In his short career, Evan is 4 for 12 with 1 HR against Beckett. And, we can’t forget his ALCS Game 2 against Beckett where he went 3 for 3 with a HR and 2 doubles. Others to consider are Jason Bartlett (.333 with a couple of doubles) and Aki (7 for 22 and a HR).
Avoid Pat Burrell in his debut with the Rays. He is an unimpressive 6 for 35 with 10 strikeouts against Josh Beckett.
