Wright as #2

David Wright continues to bat second in the batting order. Paul Lo Duca is batting solidly in the 7th hole. It seems like this might continue for a while. On march 29, I asked who would be the better player to bat in the 2 hole.

"I believe Lo Duca should be in the 2 spot. He was very capable and successful last season so why change a good thing. If Willie Randolph put Lo Duca in the 7 spot and Wright in the 2 spot, Lo Duca would be less valuable in that spot then Wright in the 5. Thus, Wright should be in the 5 spot this season and Lo Duca should remain as the number 2 hitter."
