Tigers-Pirates lineups

Howdy, I'm Mike Henry from a considerably warmer McKechnie Field and I'll be relaying my observations and thoughts throughout the afternoon on the Tigers-Pirates exhibition game.
Jim Leyland's Tigers check in at 13-12-3, while the Pirates are scuffling at 10-16 (but they'll be 0-0 in a few days). Here are the starting lineups:
Tigers
Edgar Renteria, SS
Marcus Thames, 1B
Gary Sheffield, DH
Miguel Cabrera, 3B
Brandon Inge, CF
Ryan Raburn, RF
Ramon Santiago, 2B
Dane Sardinha, C
Freddy Guzman, LF
Dontrelle Willis, P
And for the Pirates:
Nate McLouth, CF
Jack Wilson, SS
Jason Bay, LF
Adam LaRoche, 1B
Xavier Nady, RF
Jose Bautista, 3B
Ronny Paulino, C
Luis Rivas, 2B
Zach Duke, P
Duke will hit for himself, since the National League does not use a designated hitter and he needs to face live pitching to get ready for the season. Duke is a career .195 hitter.
Opening Day is just around the corner (OK, the Red Sox and Athletics beat everyone else to the punch).
