Murton: Possibility Of Batting Second For Cubs

Matt Murton will bat second in the Cubs’ Grapefruit League opener vs. the Giants. Murton finished with a .297 average and 13 homers while primarily hitting fifth, sixth and seventh in 2006. If new manager Lou Piniella decides he's the man for the No. 2 spot, then Murton will see plenty of fastballs in front of Derrek Lee and have the opportunity to boost his overall numbers.
