Your 2014 #SFGiants Opening Day Lineup: Pagan CF Belt 1B Sandoval 3B Posey C Pence RF Morse LF Crawford SS Arias 2B Bumgarner P

I'm still optimistic about this lineup. Get back to me in May.
Now, because you didn't ask for it, here is every Opening Day lineup in San Francisco Giants history. There was at least one pitcher I've never heard of. Every table was courtesy of Baseball-Reference.com.
