Church with a great AB and a great steal...  Carpenter makes an interesting point about Church's OBP...  bat him leadoff?

I think that would be a bigger mistake than having Soriano bat leadoff last year.  Church isn't that fast, but he should get 10-15 steals per year (and he has shin splints right now.)  But he hits home runs and should have a LOT more RBIs if he were batting behind players who have both speed and a high OBP.  I'd bat Church 2nd or 3rd, so he gets to the plate in the 1st inning.
