i'd put bartlett in front of navarro; navarro's OBP is frightening.

also, i'm glad i'll have mlb.tv again this year. i'll be checking out some rays games to see longoria play.

Navarro was a mystery for 2/3's of the season last year.

He did little but K or pop out until August.

He put up most of his #'s after that.

I think some mgrs like a second lead off type hitter batting at the bottom of the order.

Hopefully Longoria is the real deal.
