Soriano May Not Lead-off

The Cubs have toyed with the idea of moving Alfonso Soriano out of the leadoff spot for 2008, but Piniella said that won't happen unless the Cubs ''add a couple of speed players to the mix.''

Ugh. I hate the idea that the leadoff guy has to be fast.

The only good top of the order players that could even be remotely be available are and fast are Crawford and Figgins.

Is Figgins any good at SS?

that's not the whole quote. i think the quote was that now that Matsui isn't coming, he probably WOULD bat leadoff unless a speedy guy was signed/acquired

if it takes a couple of "speed guys" to get Soriano out of the leadoff spot, leave him there.
