The Washington Nationals Opening Day lineup came out, and I am surprised. There were several interesting things in there and one big shocker.

The big shocker is Dylan Crews hitting 8th. This came as a total shock to me for a number of reasons. For one, he has been hitting second all spring and had a solid, if unspectacular Spring Training. There was not a reason to take Crews out of the two hole the way he had been performing.
