I think you're probably right. But who do you think it should be? Shouldn't it be Fukudome when he's in the lineup?
(especially early in the season when Fukudome can actually hit)
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep... unless Theriot goes back to his '08 ways. But Theriot just seems like the "leadoff" type to Lou: Can(well Lou and him seem to think so) steal bases, scrappy, etc. It's just the old school thinking with this crap. Plus, I just don't see Lou switching the leadoff hitter all the time when it's a righty/lefty on the mound.
But yeah, we know that Fuk would most likely be better against righties in the #1 spot since he's going to take a lot of walks and see a lot of pitches.
