reed/winn in the two slot?

[Steve-o]

I think I heard something that Reed would bat against righties in the 2 hole, and Winn would bat against lefties in the 2 spot. Now if I could only find where I read that...

Side note: 400 avg this spring isn't bad. (7/4 BB/K rate is good too!)

Now I see some reports with Reed at 7th, Winn at 2nd.

Anyone know what's going on?

Everything Ive read has Reed hitting #2. If you have info stating the contrary how recent is it and how reliable is it? If its legit it obviously has large fantasy implications.

NEWS: March 22
Reed might bat second for the Mariners this year, but if so, the lefty will bat only second against right-handed pitchers, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.

Reed has batted second in 14 games this spring, while the other No. 2 option, Randy Winn, has hit second three times. Winn, the early favorite for the two hole, is a switch-hitter, so if he gets the nod, he won't share it with Reed. Reed is hitting .292 with two doubles, two triples and a home run. Batting lower in the order would give him more RBI opportunities, but batting second between Ichiro Suzuki and Adrian Beltre likely will help his OBP.
