With Mark Kotsay going hitless in the season-opening series in Cincinnati, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke is giving Nyjer Morgan a start in right field today in the home opener against the Braves.

One thing is for sure: It'll be hard to shoot the gap in right-center with Carlos Gomez in center and Morgan in right. That's what you call some real speed.

Here are the lineups for the 1:10 p.m. game at Miller Park, which is looking pretty spiffy with the new jumbo video board:
