Actually they're talking about batting 4th, behind Pujols.

Pujols won't see a single pitch in the zone the entire season.

Alfonso Soriano's statistics would disagree with you. Teams are stupid.

I probably should have said, "Pujols <i>shouldn't</i> see a single pitch in the zone the entire season.

Yeah, if pitchers had brains, would Zambrano ever see a ball within 2 feet of the plate?
Since 2004, he has one walk.
One.
Thirteen home runs. One walk.
Geniuses.

The Cards could field an entire AAA team around Pujols, and I would still be worried about them, as long as Duncan and LaRussa are in the dugout. Maybe that's irrational, but it's the way I feel.

I think that's totally legitimate, especially the Duncan part.

Speaking of Soriano.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Alfonso Soriano hit his fifth homer and walked Thursday in the Cubs' 9-8 win over the Indians.
Soriano still <b>hasn't stolen a base in 25 games this spring</b>, which doesn't bode well for him getting back to 25-30 this season, but he's hit .303/.357/.566 with five homers. He's locked into the leadoff spot for the Cubs, and it seems unlikely that he'll be moved even if he never resumes stealing bases.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And if he's not stealing bases, why exactly is he leading off?

If he performs at that level all season and can manage to stay healthy, I don't care if he steals a single base in the leadoff spot.

Because it makes him feel "comfortable." His vibes are more mellow, and it gives him inner peace.
Speaking of ridiculous bullshit, it looks like the Mets are going to sign Sheffield.

Even though he's better suited for the AL because of the DH, he might thrive in the NL against weaker pitching. Anyway, let's see how much they play him.
