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.

  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
