Well, if he's gonna swing for the fences every time, they might want to put him in the fifth or sixth slot.
The guy is gonna hit like 35 HRs, and finish with less than 70 RBI. I've never heard of anything like that.
I was talking about this the other night with wite, and it is just straight up retarded for them to bat him in the leadoff slot. A NL leadoff man gets f***ing minimal RBI opportunities and they are putting one of their best pure sluggers in that spot?
