It’s Friday, it’s March and we finally get to see Hiroki Kuroda in action today. Kevin Youkilis is also back in the lineup after missing a couple of days due to an “oblique” issue. He says it was a cramp. Kuroda, Youkilis and Robinson Cano are the only regulars starting the game. (And no, I’m not counting Francisco Cervelli and Eduardo Nunez)
