Hmmm…I like the thought process but I really don’t like Bradley setting the tone of the game with one of his “I’m gonna be lazy down the line because I only hit a grounder to short” ABs.

Of course I meant Theriot at SS. My bad. I really made a Fuld of myself there!

You forgot the Savior!! Sam Fuld! Here is a corrected lineup:

1. Sam Fuld CF (Because he’s Cubs Nation’s new D-Ro and Fukudome should be grabbing bench)
2. Theriot 2B
3. DLEE 1B
4. ARAM 3B
5. Soto C
6. Soriano LF
7. Bradley RF (Gotta put thos 10 million smackers and 17 RBI somewhere!)
8. Fontenot 2B (until Hendry acquires Freddy Sanchez from AAAA Pittsburgh Pirates)
9. Unsupported starting pitcher

His numbers aren’t good anywhere. The whole concept that a player — especially a star player — can only hit in one spot in the lineup is ridiculous.

When are you going to give it up about Soriano? He doesn’t want to hit anywhere but leadoff. Accept it and move on.

Oh, and Matt Clapp is making your rantings look stupid.

I like him wedged A Ram and Soto– that would alter things I think.

I like the lineup, except for Soriano hitting 5th. He just can’t hit with runners on.

Leading off an inning this year:
.263, 6 HR, .749 OPS

None on:
.244, 9 HR, .731 OPS

Runners on:
.193, 5 HR, .687 OPS

Runners in scoring position:
.164, 2 HR, .628 OPS

Gosh I hope this boosts Soriano’s average… he has been killing my fantasy team.
