Hardy will bat second for Brewers

J.J. Hardy will bat second in the Brewers lineup this season. Hardy will certainly see pitches to hit batting between leadoff man Rickie Weeks and slugger Prince Fielder, giving the 24-year-old shortstop a good opportunity to put his injury-shortened 2006 season firmly behind him. More of an all-around fundamentals guy than someone with one overriding strength, Hardy's a decent middle-infield option in NL-only play who -- if healthy -- can provide a respectable batting average, eight to 12 homers and a fair amount of runs.
