My only problem with Theriot near the top is his propensity for bad base-running I also have an issue with DeRosa and Soto being buried in the bottom of the order My suggestion of Edmonds at #4 was just to "break up the righties" Theriot's baserunning hasn't been good, but what difference does it makes if he makes out on the basepaths hitting 2nd or 8th? And your guys that have been buried at the bottom of the order have put up great years and had tons of guys on base when they come to bat. Ramirez, Edmonds, Fukudome and Derosa have gotten on base better than Soriano and Lee most of the year. Would you rather have Theriot trying to knock in the guys who get on base the most? Way too much attention is paid to the lineup order, when it doesn't matter as long as the best players are in it. it matters insofar as I want DeRosa and Soto to have more AB's over the course of the year than Lee and Theriot
