If he's comfortable there, you don't mess with him. Believe it or not, as bad as he's performed in the postseason, he isn't the main reason why we've sucked in October. And if he ever decides to get hot late in a season again, he could carry a team to a championship. Not saying it will happen, but I just don't see a reason to make a change just for the sake of change, especially since all of the other options for leadoff aren't ideal either.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Good post rok, definitely agree with you. When this whole "moving Soriano down in the lineup" idea came out, I thought it might have some sense to it. But Soriano has shown that leadoff is where he is truly comfortable and hes been very productive. People rip on Sori in the lead-off spot as if that is the reason for the postseason disgrace last year, but the bottom line is that batting him somewhere else in the lineup would not have changed the result of that series.
