So Lou is going to bat Soriano 1st and Theriot 2nd....

[Abe Frohman]

...on Thursday. Here is a humble suggestion, that probably just makes too much sense...

 

RF Fukudome

2B DeRosa

1B Lee

3B Ramirez

LF Soriano

CF Pie

SS Theriot

CA Soto

He's actually batting ninth. The pitcher would bat leadoff. Kind of reverse logic of the second leadoff guy Milwaukee employs.

Oh my God, to hear Bill Shroeder explain the merits of that strategy had me rolling on the floor

It was only a matter of time

This lineup is not gonna last long. Of course, Lou's just gonna do something stupid like switch Theriot and Soriano in the order.

[Dallas Green]

Yeah, swithcing them will do it. Well, really the only thing that would make Sori batting lead off more tolerable is De Rosa or Fukudome batting 2nd.

[Tracer Bullet]

The beauty of this move is Soriano will get 2 hits today and everyone (including Lou) who says he can't hit anywhere other than first will have their beliefs "confirmed" - ugh.

The only thing I could add to that is that I wonder what belief it really is that will be confirmed - the fact that he can't hit anywhere but leadoff, or the fact that if he can't hit as well in another spot in the lineup, that he must be incredibly mentally weak?
