Fukudome Leading Off

[WTFCUBS]

''Until we get Soriano back in the lineup, I think we'll keep [Fukudome] in the 1-hole. He puts the ball in play. He's got a good eye, has a high on-base percentage, makes the pitcher throw pitches. It's the description of a leadoff hitter, actually.'' -Lou

Sorry for hijacking. Read the posted article and was excited about Lou's comment.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Nice job Lou.

 

Move him to the two hole when Soriano returns too.

Well, yeah. But it would take nothing short of an act of congress to get Sori out of the leadoff spot. I mean he's THE leadoff hitter. I mean look at his splits, etc.

Nicely done Lou.

That would be ideal, but I think Lou figures Theriot is a fixture in the two hole.

 

Still, I'm impressed that Lou is actually going to stick with this until Soriano comes back. Well done.

I'm not surprised - Lou is relatively solid when it comes to lineup selection. It's the whole in-game-decision part of managing that reveals his ineptitudes.
