All the crap you hear about guys "protecting" guys is usually just crap.

Would it not be better to put the guy who gets on base a lot in front of the RBI guys instead of behind them?

Soriano is not a 3 hole type hitter BTW

Soriano hit like crap in all the other spots last year the times they tried it. Chicago would go nuts if they hit him 5th, he will either be the leadoff hitter or in the 3 hole. I don't think Pinella will mess with Lee and Ramirez in the 3 and 4 spot so it leave Soriano still leading off and Dome sitting in the 5 spot.

CEDENO...I can't believe you even mentioned it. He has two good games a year that keeps him on the map

They also might do.....

Soriano
Dome
Lee
ARam
DeRosa
Soto
Pie
Theriot

Lou likes contact in the 2nd hole and speed in the 7 and 8th hole so that pitcher can put the speed over

Theriot is just fine, he got tired, he will be fine this year. They also messed around with him all year, and it was his first year as a starter in the bigs. He has been there done that now so he should be more solid.

I have no idea what to expect from this year, but at least they are doing something, especially given there is pending ownership issues.....

Cubs are still going after Brian Roberts. That could be in the equation here.
But yes - pitching, pitching, pitching. I don't care how good of a season Lilly had, that playoff game has to make you wonder if he has the toughness to handle such important games.

You guys have one anomaly within your normal 2nd to last or last place routine and it is a huge deal. Where are they now, no one wants to play for Ozzie and you guys can't even get an old school White Sox (Rowand) to come back to the team that supposedly loved him.

You had the Cubs beat by about 3 years until two years ago or whenever it was. You guys were only THREE GAMES better then the f'n Royals, consistently the worst team in the last 10 years. And this year, you guys might win 75 games, MIGHT. Have fun in 4th place again. I would even listen to a Royals vs White Sox wager if I was given a couple games.....

Cubs are also after a "Mystery" A.L. starting pitcher.
