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:
- Ryan Theriot
- Kosuke Fukudome
- Derrek Lee
- Aramis Ramirez
- Alfonso Soriano
- Mark DeRosa
- Geovany Soto
- Felix Pie
- Carlos Zambrano
