Historically, lots of really good hitters are big DP guys. A right-handed hitter who hits in the middle of the order, and hits the ball <i>hard</i> often, is a DP waiting to happen.
Anyway, I still agree that DLee should drop in the order. He's more of a complementary player now than" the main guy." Bradley should be hitting 3rd, Aramis 4th.
I don't know if Fontenot is the ideal 2-hole hitter, but he's fast and is a lefty.
BTW, last year, he was QUITE a bit better then Miles with the bat. And according to that pesky Fielding Bible worthless-fake stats-crapola, he was an excellent glove man last year too. Thus, the thought of Miles taking ANY time away from Font (except perhaps when a dominant lefty starter is on the mound) is abhorrent to me (and to any Cub fan).

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
