He hit's better down in the order for whatever reason. That said I would take him in a second.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Since he's become a regular (2006), as a starter, he's only <b>not</b> been the leadoff hitter 44 times. In 2009 when he had his worst season, Detroit tried moving him around a bit, but he still spent the vast majority of the season leading off.
Just noticed that the last stolen base he had in 2009 was in the beginning of August. So I'm not sure what type of stolen base threat he is.

I had him on a fantasy team this past season and remembered him being moved to the 5th spot where he did really well. Turns out it is too small a sample size to make a judgment.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
