Cubs Lineup
Lou Piniella unveiled his opening day lineup yesterday. He's put two low OBA guys in front of his sluggers. Now, I know lineups don't matter that much, but why wouldn't you want DeRosa hitting second instead of Theriot?

But... Theriot hustles!
I would prefer DeRosa or Fukudome in the #2 slot, and I would also move Soto up in the lineup.
I will never understand the Cubs' love (or most Cubs' fans love) for Ryan Theriot.
It's pretty incredible that you could bat leadoff all year hit almost .300 with 33 HR's and NOT score 100 runs.
