Less than 24 hours after Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella shared his plans about trying Kosuke Fukudome out in lead off spot he has changed his mind, and is set on the opening day lineup.
Kosuke Fukudome will bat fifth, with Ryan Theriot leading off and Alfonso Soriano batting second, barring any trades. Lou believes that Fukudome provides Aramis Rameriz with the best protection.
Fukudome is batting 0-2 through 7 innings versus the White Sox today.
