Nats-Astros lineups and a few notes

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Kyle Lohse finally has a team. I guess his days of throwing simulated games against community college squads are over. Lohse agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal with the Brewers, according to reports. He'll now have a solid week to get to know his teammates before opening day. Former Nats starter John Lannan got smacked around a bit today. The Phillies lefty gave up 12 runs on 14 hits over four innings today in a game against the Blue Jays. I guess he was just working on things. We'll see if today is the day that J.C. Romero gets into a Grapefruit League game in a Nationals jersey. The left-handed reliever, who signed with the Nats on Friday, threw in a minor league game two days ago. Congrats to my former colleague, Kristina Akra, who has officially joined MLB Network after working as our Nats on-air reporter last season. She will be hosting a new show called "MLB Now" featuring Brian Kenny and Harold Reynolds. The show will premiere April 1. Hopefully they don't give her any Gatorade showers in the studio. Here are your lineups for tonight's game against the Astros: For the Nats CF Denard Span RF Jayson Werth LF Bryce Harper 3B Ryan Zimmerman 1B Adam LaRoche SS Ian Desmond 2B Danny Espinosa C Wilson Ramos P Chris Young For the Astros 2B Marwin Gonzalez 3B Brett Wallace 1B Carlos Pena LF Chris Carter RF Fernando Martinez CF Justin Maxwell C Jason Castro DH Rick Ankiel SS Ronny Cedeno P Alex White
