Yankees-Pirates

Spring is back and the fleece is off. It's a beautiful, sun-splashed day at McKechnie Field, where the Pittsburgh Pirates host the New York Yankees today.
The bad news? The game is already sold out.
This is John Lembo with The Bradenton Herald, and let's look at the starting lineups for today's 1:05 p.m. start.

Yankees
Derek Jeter, ss
Nick Johnson, 1b
Robinson Cano, 2b
Nick Swisher, rf
Marcus Thames, lf
Brett Gardner, cf
Randy Winn, dh
Francisco Cervelli, c
Jorge Vazquez, 3b
CC Sabathia, p
Pretty impressive pull - with the exception of Vazquez, expect to see all of these guys in the lineup when the regular season starts.

Pirates
Andrew McCutchen, cf
Aki Iwamura, 2b
Garrett Jones, rf
Ryan Doumit, c
Ryan Church, dh
Lastings Milledge, lf
Jeff Clement, 1b
Andy LaRoche, 3b
Ronny Cedeno, ss
Charlie Morton, p
Similar to the Yankees, the Pirates are trotting out nine bonafide ballplayers today.
First pitch is in less than three hours, and it should be a good one.
