<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Despite an ugly .296 on-base percentage, Alfonso Soriano will remain the Cubs' leadoff hitter.
"We've been through this many times," Cubs manager Lou Piniella sighed. "When we signed Alfonso, he was a leadoff hitter. We've won two divisions with him being a leadoff hitter. What else can I say? He's struggling. We just got to hope he gets hot." Soriano is 14-for-95 (.147) in his last 22 games and has 66 strikeouts on the season.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
