CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Shortly after the Pirates' final Spring Training game, manager Clint Hurdle revealed that Adam Frazier will lead off and serve as Pittsburgh's designated hitter in the Bucs' Opening Day matchup with the Tigers on Thursday at Comerica Park.
Hurdle took it a step further and announced Pittsburgh's entire expected Opening Day lineup:
Adam Frazier, DH
Josh Harrison, 2B
Gregory Polanco, RF
Josh Bell, 1B
Corey Dickerson, LF
Starling Marte, CF
Francisco Cervelli, C
Colin Moran, 3B
Jordy Mercer, SS
That lineup may change for the Pirates' second and third games in Detroit, and it will certainly have a different look when the Bucs return to National League rules on Monday.
