Honestly, the more I think about it the more I like giving Juan a shot in the 2 hole. I loved Tad there last year but obviously the sox think they can get more out of him lower in the order. Juan has just been awesome when he's had a job to do, he obviously concentrates a little bit more. Give him a job to do nearly every at bat, while seeing more fastballs, add to the fact that he's a pretty damn good bunter, and I think it just might be a good move.

Ozzie seems to know what buttons to push with these guys. If he thinks Uribe can handle the two spot, I'm sure Ozzie feels he can guide Uribe into being a good number two hitter.
