I just don't think Piniella would ever be so bold as to put a catcher that high in a lineup. Whether right or wrong, that takes a bit of creativity...which old man Lou lacks.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, though for me, putting Colvin and his .319 OBP at the top of the order is more "creative" (read: kind of silly).
Just for fun, my batting order at the moment:
Castro
Soto
Byrd
Ramirez
Colvin
Soriano
Lee
Theriot (Is Fontenot even on the team anymore?)

If it matters any, Castro hit in the #2 spot in the minors.
