I'm not a Met fan but does anyone else think having Lo Duca in the 2 hole is retarded?

No, I think he is the ideal number 2 hitter in that lineup. Anyone who thinks that LoDuca is bad in that spot could not have watched many Mets games last year.

I watched probably 130 games last year(thanks online poker) and Lo Duca was successful - though not as successful as wright obv. He is an aging catcher who is slow and doesn't hit for much power. He will almost certainly shave many points off his OPS this year whereas Wright will almost certainly improve. Lo Duca in the 2 hole isn't as bad as leaving Milledge out of the lineup in favor of Green, though.
