The Braves used 107 lineups last season, but Fredi Gonzalez has already decided that Justin Upton will hit third for the team.

B.J. Upton and Brian McCann will follow the newly-acquired Upton.

"When you have B.J. and Justin and a healthy McCann, that's the middle of your lineup," Gonzalez said. "It doesn't matter who is pitching against you that night. Those are your three. Having those three there, it's going to be a little easier."

Andrelton Simmons is the new leadoff hitter. Jason Heyward is expected to hit second. Freddie Freeman, Dan Uggla and either, Chris Johnson or Juan Francisco, will complete the lineup.
