Wright To Bat Second

Kevin Kernan writes in his blog, that Willie Randolph should think about batting David Wright second in place of Paul Lo Duca.

Kernan writes: "If Reyes gets on, with his speed he can steal second so you don’t need the two-hitter to give himself up that much." "Lo Duca could slide into the six hole behind Moises Alou. Alou, if healthy, is a solid No. 5 hitter. By batting Wright second you also have, what I call, the turnover effect. When the lineup turns over later in the game and if there are men on base, Reyes and Wright give you RBI power right at the top."

...wright strikes out to much, and a 6-7-8 of Lo Duca, Shawn Green, and Jose Valentin has little to no pop.
