1. bradley
2. theriot
3. lee
4. soriano
5. ramirez
6. soto
7. fontenot
8. fuk/johnson
9. zambrano

the reason i bat soriano clean up is because he's strctly a fastball hitter and he needs protection. i don't think soto provides the kind of protection ramirez brings.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Bradley is the only real LH power bat in the lineup, not really a fan of that being in the leadoff spot for the same reason as Soriano. I'd go with something like this

Theriot/Miles
Lee
Soriano
Bradley
Ramirez
Soto
Fuk/Johnson
Fontenot
