Using the stats Kid provided I plugged Soriano into the leadoff spot using his career averages there. In the second lineup I moved everyone down sans Fuk and plugged Soriano into the 3rd spot using his career stats out of the leadoff spot. I used last years statistics for the other players.
Lineup with Soriano leading off = 5.666 runs per game
Lineup with Soriano batting 3rd = 5.567 runs per game
Based on this model, the team is slightly better with Soriano leading off. Granted, this only accounts for about an extra 16 runs over the course of the season.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
