I would prefer the more patient guy at leadoff. So DeJesus should keep leading off against righties, while Castro should lead off against lefties. I think that might work.

I like having the patient lefty batting behind Castro to allow him to develop his running game since the power isn't really showing yet.

That's a decent idea especially since it seems like DeJesus TOOTBLANs every other game.

I say only play kids that are controlled for the next 4+ years.

They can't just sit the veterans. The players' union would be up in arms and the atmosphere for free agents coming to Chicago would change because they know that if the Cubs are ever in an extended slump (or they themselves are) that they'd lose playing time, and that's just not wise.

So did anyone expect Campy, Castro, LaHair to hit .350+? Cause thats what they were doing. They were all due to go through slump some time. How about instead of changing the top of the order they find some hitters in lower part of order. 3B, C, 2B, all suck.
