Soriano to bat 8th

[trevisc]

i'm still waiting on the final word from the Torre

[bsblallstr]

i think that he now will bat 2nd or 3rd or 6th, too much power to have at the bottom

whatever the opening day line-up is, i'm not expecting it to stick. i think it will be shuffled ALOT over the course of the year.. that seems to be Torre's style lately. I'm not sure if he's been experimenting or just moving guys down if they're slumping, but I could see Soriano being moved from 8th to 9th to 1st to 6th to 7th to 2nd to 5th to hell to heaven to judy's basement and back again all before the all-star break. .. and i think he could eventually wind up at leadoff again somehow (just a guess)
