Reed Johnson... - BackyardLegend - 07-27-2009 I'm not really down with Reed Johnson leading off--even if it's against lefties. Trust me, I love his high energy, but he doesn't seem to do well after the platoon leadoff hitter. Am I wrong? Sorry to be a Debby Downer...

I'd prefer Reed bat 7th or 8th and leadoff Theriot w/ Bradley batting 2nd. Reed Johnson... - Kid - 07-27-2009 Is there anybody that you're happy with leading off? Also, Butch is Debbie Downer.

Reed Johnson... - Kid - 07-27-2009 It wasn't. Reed Johnson... - sleepyhead - 07-27-2009 Reed seems to have lost it. I think I'd prefer Fuld at this point. Reed Johnson... - Coldneck - 07-27-2009 I can't say I'd be pissed if Reed was replaced by Fuld, but I don't think it would be a good thing. Fuld was great for the 4 or 5 games he played but take a look at his minor league numbers and you'll realize he can't keep it up. Reed Johnson... - rok - 07-27-2009 Reed has been swinging at everything lately. What happened to his patient approach?
