David Ross is the Red Sox' starting catcher in Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday. Red Sox manager John Farrell made the decision based on Ross and Jon Lester's success against Detroit in early September. Boston will send a lineup of Jacoby Ellsbury, Shane Victorino, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Mike Napoli, Daniel Nava, Stephen Drew, Will Middlebrooks and Ross to the plate against Tigers' starter Anibal Sanchez.
