I would assume that Jones will be hitting 5th or 6th in the order and Walker would probably be 2nd. I do think that Murton and/or Cedeno could develop into very good #2 hitters.

ya, I read that yesterday - he must not have been on this site too much or there is no way that he would have JJ in the 2 spot. Let's hope Baker is not reading...

[FergieJ31]

The Edward K reference is brilliant (am I the only one who got that?)

[sethuel1]

How does anyone, anywhere, think Jacque Jones is a 2-hitter?

 

Damn you Edward K....

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

LMAO!!

 

This is what the 2006 Cubs batting order should look like. I deeply hope that Dusty Baker has the sense to do this.

 

Jones should be in the 2 hole? Yeah, lets put Mr. 327 OBP in front of Lee and Ramirez.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Who do you want as your 2 hole hitter?

 

.305/.355/.474/.829 40K, 31BB

 

.249/.319/.438/.757 120K, 51BB

You have to have speed at the top of the order.

[Andy]

Not even close to the only one.

 

Someone needs to take a silencer to Edward K.'s house and keep him away from Dusty until this season is over. :lol:

[Vinestal]

Cedeno or Murton either one would make a better 2 hitter than JJ. JJ should hit 8th.

[Chris]

Poor Edward K from Indy, taking the heat for Joshua G from Chicago.

I like barrett but i dont think hed fit in the 5th spot.

if hairston wins the 2b job i like the first one, but if walker wins the 2b job and cedeno does well i like the second one.

Explain. I like Barrett in the 5 hole. Decent OBP, good gap hitter. better OBP and SLG than Jones, definitely.

[fallingpieces]

does anyone have an age on poor eddy?

[USSoccer]

Murton is probably the best #2 hitter on the roster.

I know you were being sarcastic, but, for what it's worth, Milton Bradley and Derrek Lee are pretty fast, and they're two of the top three!

 

They're not 50 steal threats, but at least they don't slap at the ball.

But you want players that slap at the ball and leg out infield hits. they're the hallmark of a playoff team!

Which is why I'm training Brian Giles to do all that. Why do you think I got him in the first place?

Will Neifi Perez be starting at shortstop this year? After doing such a good job filling in for Garciaparra last year, I would think he'd be a great choice. Do the Cubs have other plans for him?

-- Edward K., Indianapolis, Ind.

 

Remember, Perez was originally signed to be a backup. The Cubs would like to give Ronny Cedeno a chance to be the starting shortstop. Cedeno was third in batting in the Venezuelan League this winter the last time I checked. Perez will get his at-bats.
