Beside the middle of the lineup guys Theriot and Fukudome's OBP are .411 and .406. Batting Theriot 1 and Fukudome 2 would set the table for Lee, Ramirez, and then either Soriano or Soto. Heck, I'd even try what the Cards and Brewers are doing is batting the pitcher 8th then put Soriano in the 9 spot which is basically 2nd leadoff and turns Lee into the cleanup batter the 2nd time through the order.
I like Cedeno and Fontenot in spot starts, they definitley are batting well and are versitile enough for double switches. I've heard Cedeno has been taking fly balls in
CF in practice lately which could mean maybe if Pie is finally sent down he could get a look in
CF possibly.
I'm down on Soriano right now but like last year you know once he is 100% healthy he is going to carry the offense in stretches when his bat gets going. I just don't like how Lou babies him and allows him to dictate where he hits. He's not like Bobby Bonds like he said Saturday when interviewed by Fox.
