When he returns he absolutely must be placed in the 5th or even 6th slot.
It's obvious that the top of the order is working well with
Johnson/Fontenot/Theriot. Putting Soriano in the 1 or 2 hole will mess
things up. I could see moving Fukadome to the 2hole and putting Soriano
in
the 5 hole. We can afford one free swinger in the lineup but not at the
top of the lineup.
It may turn out that Soriano going on the 15-day DL was a
blessing-in-disguise. I think Lou now has the confirmation he needed and
evidence to sup****t moving Soriano where he belongs in the lineup.
