Bullcrap, you don't know that. You're making a totally uninformed guess. In fact, if anything, you should be giving lou CREDIT for soto. As soon as he was called up, he played him. Soto got hot, so he kept playing him. You can't ask much more than that. As for letting Soriano lead off, he tried batting him fifth a few games, he sucked. And the whole "leadoff" man thing gets blown out of proportion sometimes. Outside of the first inning, it really doesn't man much, except that the person in that spot is almost guaranteed at least one more at bat than those lower in the lineup. Isn't it a good idea to give him more AB's? Especially when he's hitting like this. ignore him, please. the number of his opinions that i don't agree with is off the charts OOO wow, why don't you ignore me
