Doug Mientkiewicz: Signed minor league contract with Dodgers

Doug Mientkiewicz should start the season in the majors. Before this signing, I felt James Loney should bat second because he can put the ball in play consistently, however so can Doug Mientkiewicz. In addition, Mientkiewicz should provide a better on base percentage than Loney and in turn Mientkiewicz should start for the Dodgers this season.
