Baseball Strategy

I didn't notice this at the end of last year, but I read the other day that LaRussa is having his pitchers bat 8th in the lineup this spring and possibly into the season.  I'm not a big fan of LaRussa (I think he's generally overrated), but I'm curious.  Can someone with a little more baseball knowhow clue me in?  What's the TLR trying to do here?
