I'm asking for clarification of one point here regarding Soriano and the batting order. I've read on more than one occasion here at NSBB that batting order means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Yet at the same time, I read just as many posts ripping on Soriano as leadoff hitter. So does batting order matter or not? That is my question. And it's not a question being posed in a sarcastic manner at all, I really do appreciate any and all input here.
