There's no set-in-stone quality to a Lou Piniella lineup. there's enough good hitters on this team to where he can juggle several spots based upon who is hot at the moment. DeRo in the leadoff spot won't work once he reverts to the norm, but for now, why not? In fact, the only two guys I probably wouldn't move all year, barring injuries, are A-Ram and Derecles.

Some day soon in a 13-8 loss, Soriano will go 3 for 5 with 2 HR's and 6 RBI's. You've been warned! You’ll be sorry you’ve messed with perfection.

Batting lineups matter very little. http://www.retrosheet.org/Research/RuaneT/lineup_art.htm In addition, Kosuke comes from a background where #2 hitters are meant to 'give themselves up' quite a bit. I'd be worried he would be giving up at bats just to try to move a guy to 2nd. Plus, you have to admit loving to see him bat with guys on base all the time. He was a middle of the order slugger in Japan. Derosa batting 2nd would be beneficial, if only you'd be giving him more at bats than Reed/Theriot/Crap etc. Respectfully, I think everyone is making too much of the lineup.

Lou is losing the games for the cubs. Opening day was a perfect example when he brought Wood in during a non-save situation and then walked Fielder to get to Braun.

Fuk will drive in more runs in the 5 hole than Sorry-ano will. My only problem with this lineup is… Fuk will drive in more runs in the 5 hole than Sorry-ano will.
