If Wright is batting second he will be seeing more pitches as well. Batting in front of Beltran will help that. As long as Reyes stays patient at the plate it will work out. Only reason moving Lo Duca down would be assuming at 35 he won't replicate his numbers from last year, which could be true.

Also I heard that Lo Duca didn't take as many deep counts as Wright did not giving Reyes the chance to steal as often. Jose did say in spring training that he plans on stealing earlier in the count as opposed to last year. So that may sway Willie to keep PLD in the 2 hole.
