Soriano takes the Fifth

I liked Lou’s flip-flop of Soraino and Fukudome yesterday in the final preseason game for the Cubs. We don’t have a legit leadoff man, but Fukudome second, followed by Lee, Ramirez, Soriano makes a mighty powerful middle of the order. Here is what I would write on the 2008 opening day Cubs lineup card:

  1. Ryan Theriot
  2. Kosuke Fukudome
  3. Derrek Lee
  4. Aramis Ramirez
  5. Alfonso Soriano
  6. Mark DeRosa
  7. Geovany Soto
  8. Felix Pie
  9. Carlos Zambrano
