This was from Olney's ESPN thing today:

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The perfect spot for Soriano in a National League lineup probably is sixth; this past season, among leadoff hitters he was 17th in on-base percentage.

I wonder whether, as Lou Piniella considers his options, he might be inclined to think about Derrek Lee in the No. 2 spot in his lineup; this way, he can alternate left-handed and right-handed hitters in the first six spots in his batting order (or something along these lines) in games against right-handed pitchers.

2B Mike Fontenot, L (he had a .393 OBP against right-handers in 2008)
1B Lee, R
RF Milton Bradley, S
3B Aramis Ramirez, R
CF Kosuke Fukudome, L
LF Soriano, R
C Geovany Soto, R
SS Ryan Theriot, R
A potential problem with that arrangement, besides the issue of having Fukudome hitting in a major RBI spot, is that Soriano inevitably would see a lot of right-handed relievers after his first two at-bats. Another possibility:
SS Theriot
LF Soriano
RF Bradley
3B Ramirez
1B Lee
CF Fukudome
C Soto
2B Fontenot

For the readers: How would you construct the Cubs' lineup?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
