Molina had 156 ABs in the 8th slot which IMO is worse than him hitting in the 5 slot

BTW he had 1 AB in teh 5th slot last season.

He batted cleanup against lefties for the 100-win team in 2005.

Maybe thats what I was remembering then.

I don't, I want him to get as little AB's as possible. I know some think he should bat 7th because of his lack of speed but I disagree.

One AB in a spot would indicate he PH for someone in that slot I believe

Check ESPNs stats.

Like he did all spring, and the spring before that. The guy tears up ST pitching.

Don't forget playoff pitching too.

Yep, March and October are Yadi's months.

Without looking it up, I, too, remember one game in 2005 when Yadi batted cleanup.
