Lineups

Here are the lineups for today's Rays-Pirates game:

Pirates:

1. Nyjer Morgan, cf
2. Jack Wilson,ss
3. Jason Bay, lf
4. Adam LaRoche, dh
5. Ryan Doumit, c
6. Xavier Nady, rf
7. Jose Bautista, 3b
8. Doug Mientkiewicz, 1b
9. Luis Rivas, 2b
Matt Morris, p

Paul Maholm hit yesterday, but being an American League park allows the Pirates to get Mientkiewicz and LaRoche in the lineup together. With Freddy Sanchez's future spotty, Rivas may be on track to be the team's second baseman on Opening Day.

Rays:
1. Akinora Iwamura, 2b
2. Carl Crawford, lf
3. Carlos Pena, 1b
4. B.J. Upton, cf
5. Cliff Floyd, dh
6. Eric Hinske, lf
7. Evan Longoria, 3b
8. Dioner Navarro, c
9. Jason Bartlett, ss
Edwin Jackson, p

Not much to complain about if you're a Rays fan - while Longoria may be sent down, this lineup looks like one Tampa Bay will use during the regular season.
