As the first batter of the game in 2005 he hit .333 with a .419 OBP. While he may not have been the best in high leverage situations, I loved watching him lead off games. He gets on, Iguchi moved him over, and he'd score on a sac fly or something. I wonder how many times we took a 1-0 lead in the first inning?
That is exactly the scenario I remember from the 2005 season. Wasn't that team winning in every game at a high percentage that season?
