Cubs manager Lou Piniella says that outfielder Marlon Byrd will hit fifth for the team this coming season. "That, to me, is the most important thing to our team this year offensively -- who hits fifth," Piniella said at the annual Cubs Convention this weekend. Chicago signed Byrd as a free agent a few weeks ago. "We have Derrek Lee who's a wonderful, wonderful three hitter," Piniella said. "[Aramis] Ramirez is very productive at the four spot. And we've settled in with Soriano at the six hole, and I think he's comfortable with it. We really just have the fifth hole to look at, and I've talked to the new hitting coach [Rudy Jaramillo] at length about Marlon, and he thinks he can fit in there."
