Ideally, I'd love to have Rickie as the future 5, but there's so many problems if we do that. First, Gomez and Escobar have to show they can get on base consistently, which we haven't seen yet. I'll also add that I'd rather see Gomez lead off if he continues to hit well. Let Gomez use his speed instead of being scared to run with Braun and Prince coming up. Weeks can rack up more RBI's with Gomez hopefully on base. I think Rickie would tend to change his approach a little if he batted 5 instead of 1 or 2. Now, it wouldn't make much sense to take Ab's away from Rickie if Gomez is really struggling to get on base, but it wouldn't be the worst thing if Gomez can get on and let Weeks bat behind him.
