No. Why not, he always gets on a base. Soriano doesn't get hot til late in the game. you are confusing me. Pie gets hits early in the game. Soriano waits til late in the game to get his hits. At least that is what I have noticed. I would rather have Pie in the leadoff spot. For his career, Soriano hits: .297/.350/.527 in innings 1-3 .282/.326/.538 in innings 4-6 .281/.331/.476 in innings 7-9 What is Pie hitting? .316/.316/.421 in innings 1-3 .438/.438/.875 in innings 4-6 .077/.111/.077 in innings 7-9 Then again, Pie only has about 20 PA in each slot, so you can't take too much from his numbers. Uh-oh. Looks like he may be ANTI-CLUTCH. Jeromy Burnitz all over again.
