Cubs Manager Lou Piniella made some lineup changes today. OF Milton Bradley will sit until he is 100% according to Piniella. He also moved SS Ryan Theriot, who is leading MLB in Batting, up to the 2 spot in the lineup.
Today's Lineup and new batting order?
1. Soriano
2. Theriot
3. Fukudome
4. Lee
5. Ramirez
6. Hoffpauir
7. Soto
8. Fontenot
9. Zambrano
At first glance I would ask why the hell is Derrek Lee batting cleanup, he's not even hitting his weight, and has less power that everyone batting behind him, and that includes Carlos Zambrano. Let's wait and see if this pays off, apparently the wind is blowing out to left, so maybe Lee can get a hold of one. Nevertheless, I'm never a fan of having lee batting 4th. Hopefully this lineup can push across a few runs today against the Reds Aaron Harang, who is off to a good start this season.
