The exhibition season kicks off tomorrow night against the Marlins, and the Nats' travel list for the game in Jupiter has been posted. Most of the regulars will make the trip, except for Ryan Zimmerman, Austin Kearns, Dmitri Young and the injured catchers. Manny Acta wouldn't come right out and announce his starting lineup, but it may look something along these lines...

2B Lopez
SS Guzman
1B Johnson
LF Pena
RF Dukes
CF Milledge
3B Casto
C Moeller or Nieves
P Chico

Besides Chico, the other guys scheduled to pitch are Garrett Mock, Rob Bell, Joel Hanrahan, Brian Sanches and Chris Schroder.

One caveat: It's supposed to be cold (by Florida standards) and possibly rainy, so there could be adjustments based on that. Acta said Johnson will play three innings and possibly get two at-bats.

Here's the other pitchers of note who are scheduled to throw over the next few days:

Thu vs. Georgetown: Jason Bergmann, Josh Smoker, Collin Balester
Fri vs. Marlins: Tyler Clippard, Jason Stanford, Mike Bacsik
Sat vs. Orioles: John Patterson, Dennis Tankersley, Steven Shell, Ray King, Jon Rauch, Chad Cordero
Sun split-squad at Astros: John Lannan, Mike O'Connor, Joel Hanrahan
Sun split-squad at Orioles: Garrett Mock, Rob Bell, Mike Bacsik

For those wondering where Shawn Hill is on that list, he's going to throw twice more to live hitters in BP and then make his game debut on Wednesday the 5th at the Cardinals. And for those who want to look way down the line, that would put Hill on a five-day schedule that has him starting Opening Night at Nationals Park, with Patterson as the No. 2 starter, Chico as the No. 3, Bergmann as No. 4 and Lannan as No. 5.

Obviously, don't read too much into that yet, because much can change between now and the end of March. But it's sure fun to speculate, isn't it?
