Why Don't You Just Pull 'Em Out of a Hat, Lou?
Written by wrigleyville

So, I hear Lou's putting Soriano back in the leadoff spot after a paltry two-game stretch with Theriot and Alf hitting one-two. I can't blame him for wanting a change, but if we're going back to Soriano leading off then I ain't buyin'. We've been through it all before and I won't even bother linking to the old posts. There are those folks who like Soriano in the leadoff spot and I can't completely blame them for that opinion. Hell, we actually won the division with that configuration last season, allbeit by the skins of our teeth. There are also those who believe that lineup configuration means nothing...the irrefutable laws of mathemagics don't apply when it comes to filling out a line up card. To that, I say "psh." If that were true, then by all means we should let Ramirez and Lee lead off and hit the pitcher 5th, throw those numbers in the flux capacitor and see what happens. The fact is that Theriot, no matter how much I adore his LSUness, is not very good. He's adequate and can fill in, but he is our worst hitter (statistically) and should hit 8th. He does have a good eye and can put the ball in play, which will serve to at least turn the lineup over to our better hitters. Our best batting eyes are DeRosa and Fukudome. They should lead off, respectively, followed by Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, Soto, Pie and Theriot. I know, I know...the 2B should hit first and that Asian kid would clog too many bases and there's no righty-lefty balance. That's the kind of lineup shennanigans that don't make logical sense to me. I know it's just game two in this 162-game marathon of a season. However, it's apparent that what's been tried thus far isn't going to work. But, what do I know? I'm not making millions of dollars managing an MLB clubhouse. Which is why it's so easy to step outside the box and scrutinize. I have confidence that Lou will make necessary changes. And, if his current experiment, which was tried and somewhat true, begins to pay dividends, then by all means...as you were, Lou.
