It looks like Willie is going to tweak the order a bit this year and bat Wright in the 2-hole. I love this idea, not that Lo Duca was bad last year, but getting Wright those extra at-bats should hopefully be $.

I hate this move. Lo Duca was perfect last year as the 2-guy. Wright struck out considerably more than LoDuca last year. Although Wright will get some additional at bats, the lineup will be much less balanced, unless Green and Alou (or their replacements) really exceed expectations. And without Wright batting behind him, Delgado will have no protection.

The only way this move makes sense to me is if LoDuca actualy starts off much, much worse than last year.
