I agree wholeheartedly. It's one of the main reasons I think our batting order will be truly "transformed" by Choo's presence. Not so sure about 23 HR, though it possible. The main thing I'm expecting from BP in the 2 spot are lots of "battling waks" and base hits the other way with Choo on first, and a high BA and OBP out of DatDude as a result.
