Lineups

Here are the lineups for today's McKechnie finale:

The Twins:
1. Carlos Gomez, cf
2. Joe Mauer, c
3. Michael Cuddyer, rf
4. Justin Morneau, 1b
5. Delmon Young, lf
6. Craig Monroe, dh
7. Mike Lamb, 3b
8. Brendan Harris, 2b
9. Adam Everett, ss
Kevin Slowey, p

Can't complain when you get to see Mauer and Morneau, two of the best young players in the game. I wonder if Rays fans will cheer for Young and Harris, who spent last year in St. Petersburg.

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

McLouth may have beaten out Morgan for the starting job in centerfield, but McLouth played well enough to make the team as fourth outfielder, and will get one last workout today. If the Pirates want to reverse the last 15 years, they need Bay, LaRoche and Nady to do some raking.
