This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen, it's pretty easy to understand.................. You want your best run producers with a chance to drive in runs at the beginning of the game, not hitting second. Did you ignore the point about whenh the leadoff guy gets on you want a contact hitter for hit and runs, and to take pitches if a steal is on? Keep ignoring common sense. You take the bat out of your power hitters hand.
