Reed Johnson...

[BackyardLegend]

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 agree. I'd prefer Reed bat 7th or 8th and leadoff Theriot w/ Bradley batting 2nd.

Is there anybody that you're happy with leading off?

Also, Butch is Debbie Downer.

Not sure if that was directed at me or not, but yes, I am quite happy with Theriot or Fukudome leading off.

It wasn't.

Reed seems to have lost it. I think I'd prefer Fuld at this point.

[Coldneck]

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 has been swinging at everything lately. What happened to his patient approach?
