Tonight's lineup: the rookie joins the mix
Grady wasted no time getting Tony Abreu into the lineup. He also wasted no time hinting that Abreu could move into the leadoff spot if Juan Pierre doesn't start producing, although he didn't mention Pierre by name. ``None of us around here should be assuming anything about our batting order at this point in time,'' Little said.
