PrintPirates' Russell posts opening-day lineup @ post-gazette:
ATLANTA -- Manager John Russell posted the Pirates' opening-day lineup in their Turner Field clubhouse this afternoon:
Nate McLouth, CF
Freddy Sanchez, 2B
Jason Bay, LF
Adam LaRoche, 1B
Xavier Nady, RF
Ryan Doumit, C
Jack Wilson, SS
Ian Snell, P
The Pirates face the Atlanta Braves' Tom Glavine tonight at 7:10.
Doumit is starting against the leftie despite Paulino's offensive splits. I believe this sends the signal that Doumit is his preferred catcher.
Russell apparently has decided to play without a 3Bman. A bold move for sure, but I really question if it will help.

The article has now been updated to include Bautista at third. So the real story is indeed Doumit getting the start.
