Your Marlins-Nats opening day lineups

We couldn't have asked for a much nicer day for a ballgame, at least on April 1 in Washington, D.C. It's supposed to be around 63 and sunny at first pitch here at Nationals Park, with no rain in the forecast. I'll take it. For those of you coming to the game, you might want to get here early. The opening day ceremonies will begin at 12:08 p.m., with James Brown serving as the master of ceremonies. The Nationals are scheduled to unveil their National League East division champions sign at 12:26 p.m. The Nats players will be introduced at 12:30 p.m., with Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, and Manager, Rookie and Executive of the Year awards being presented thereafter. There are no surprises when it comes to the Nationals' opening day lineup. Manager Davey Johnson took out the rubber stamp today. When it comes to the Marlins ... well, there isn't a whole lot there to make Nationals pitchers quiver in their cleats. It's Giancarlo Stanton and a bunch of other guys. I wouldn't be shocked if Stanton walks 150 times this year. There's really no reason to pitch to the guy. Here are your lineups for today's opener: For the Marlins: LF Juan Pierre CF Chris Coghlan RF Giancarlo Stanton 3B Placido Polanco C Rob Brantly 2B Donovan Solano 1B Casey Kotchman SS Adeiny Hechavarria P Ricky Nolasco 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 Stephen Strasburg
