With addition of Denard Span, who everyone assumes will be the lead off guy, and Michael Morse having left (he and LaRoche alternate clean up depending on left or rand handed pitching) it will be interesting to see where Harper goes in the line up. Johnson has said he like Desmond at 6 and you have to figure Zimmerman and LaRoche will still be 3 and 4 but who knows. The great thing last year about Werth and Harper being one and two is that they are both pretty patient and make the pitcher show a lot of his stuff before getting to the power in the lineup. I would almost like to see Werth at 2 and Harper at 3 with Zimmerman hitting clean up if his shoulder is still healthy. I think La Roche is perfect in the 5 slot. I'm really hoping Harper takes another leap forward in his hitting this year.

Also Werth appears not to have shaved in a good year.
