Pinella Move Soriano Down in the Lineup...

Pinella move Soriano down in the lineup, he is an embarrassment to the club. A lead off man is supposed to get on base and start a rally for the middle of the order. As of today Soriano is batting .226 with a OBP of .290 (really embarrassing). Soriano is batting first because he is more comfortable and wants to try to break the home run record (most home runs leading off the game) by Devery Henderson.

In the last month Alfonso Soriano got 19 hits with 3 home runs and struck out 33 times in 118 at-bats counting this game against the White Sox. Also Soriano is not stealing bases like he did because of his knee, another reason he should not be the Cubs lead off man. That is not good numbers for a guy starting the ball game.

Pinella if you want to win games, put Soriano on the DL until he is 90-100% healthy or move him down in the order. Who is the manager you or Soriano, your the one that makes the moves and that one has to be done.

Lineup with Soriano down in the lineup without Ramirez:

SS Theriot
CF Kosuke when versing a righty/Johnson when versing a lefty
1B Lee
RF Bradley (Looks like he is heating up)
LF Soriano
3B Fontenot
C Soto
2B Blanco (I hate Miles)
P Pitcher

1B Lee

LF Hoffpauir (with time giving to Fox)

I am not going to do one with Soriano out of the lineup because we all know Pinella and he will not take out Soriano.

That is why I think Soriano should be out of the lineup. Any thoughts?

I will keep you posted on all Cubs.
