Or hitting fifth when Ramirez is out of the lineup.

I really think that Lou likes having his catcher bat at the bottom of the order. Against lefties I can see Soto hitting fifth when Bradley is out of the lineup.

I don’t think that’s why; I think it’s because he wants Fuk second, and where else is Fontenot going to go? Seems like a waste to have Soto batting all the way down at 7.

On the bright side we will know very early in the season if Fukudome is going to go in the Danny Jackson/Todd Hundley level of busted free agent signings. Is Lou really moving Fontenot to sixth because he thinks he will provide Ramirez with some protection?
