Batting Fourth

There's a headline without an article at the Contra Costa Times. I don't know if it's a mistake or a real story, since I can't find it anywhere else. But if it's true, Alou set his lineup with Winn in the leadoff spot and Bonds batting fourth. I guess Bonds won the battle to not bat second if this headline is accurate.

Here's what the Lineup Analysis Tool says about the Giants lineup.

Update: I should mention that I used The Bill James Handbook 2006 projections for the position players. The numbers for the pitchers are what the Giants pitchers did last year.

Here's a link to the article--it's by a Mercury News writer:

Sort of off topic, but are the James Handbook projections any better or worse than Baseball Prospectus's PECOTA? Just a question--I've yet to buy Bill James '06 to compare.
