i expect theriot to snap out of it as well.
C'mon TK you if you really think Sorri is going to, all of a sudden, change his batting approach mentality, your crazy.
He's been stubborn about it ever since he was coming up as a Yankee. Even the Rangers tried to bat him 2 and it didn't work. Then they settled with him leading off and at Washington he did well as a leadoff guy when he was still able to run like hell. He's best suited as a 5 hitter where he can be a run producer, HR hitter, steal bases if you need him to, but least of all no worries about him striking out.
Theriot is fine. If he takes 7+ pitches and strikes out, or grounds out, while keeping his OBP over .375, I'm happy.
He doesn't strike out a lot, but he does have those little bloop grounders, as long as he takes pitches for the big boys to see, its all worth it.
Fukudome being put in the two hole isn't something that was born after his debut, we've wanted it for along time. He'd be perfect there. Having Sorri's power at the two hole is fine, but having down at the 5 hole is better, especially when you have an OBP whiz batting second.
, when you do.
