Lloyd McClendon loves juggling his lineup and what not, but here's what opening day was:
CF Kenny Lofton
C Jason Kendall
LF Brian Giles
3B Aramis Ramirez
1B Randall Simon
RF Reggie Sanders
2B Pokey Reese
SS Jack Wilson
Bench:
Craig Wilson C/RF/prolly a little 1B
Rob Mackowiak Mostly RF/CF
Matt Stairs RF
Kevin Young 1B
Abraham Nunez IF
There's a R/L platoon at first with Simon/ Young. RF also appears to be a place where he'll just stick whoever's hot at the moment. I think Mackowiak is to get a little time in CF, too. Craig Wilson is supposed to play right field every now and then (along with Stairs and Mackowiak), and is also the backup catcher.
Rotation:
Kris Benson
Kip Wells
Josh Fogg
Jeff Suppan
Jeff D'Amico
Closer: Mike Williams
Setup: Scott Sauerbeck, Brian Boehringer
Middle: Joe Beimel, Salomon Torres (also kept around for emergency starts), Julian Tavarez, Dennys Reyes
Yes, the Pirates are carrying 12 pitchers.
Edit: Forgot to put the full bench
