Who would you guys bat lead off? Lets assume they are intent on keeping 2, 3 4 pretty much the same, so Giminez is out.

I am thinking maybe Freeman would be who I would pick.

Small sample size, but I think Florial is doing fairly well thus far.

Freeman would be a good choice when Florial sits as well.

Let us hope, however, that Kwan gets back ASAP.

I like Vogt using the spot in interesting ways, like having Florial bat there.

Freeman might have the best natural ability to get on base, but he hasn't performed well yet.

Elly De La Cruz is a name that comes to mind. Replaces a need at short. Reds are crashing back to reality.

Wait, what? Are you suggesting that De La Cruz is on the market and we have the players to get him? And not what I was asking, wasnt saying make a trade for a top young player that 100% isnt on the market.

I hear there's this guy named Ohtani that would be an outstanding leadoff hitter for us.

I’d be willing to give them Rocchio to fill the empty slot, Brito, Noel, Valera, Arias, and a flier in Bieber.

Steven Kwan has an acute hamstring strain. The Guardians expect him to be out for approximately four weeks.

and he's only making $ 2 MM/year !..

I would like to see Freeman in the leadoff spot. Or in the very least against LHP.

His bad BABIP luck will only last so long if he keeps doing what he's been doing. Splitting Florial vs RHP and Freeman vs LHP works for me as well.

Unacceptable. I expect him back within 3 weeks.

David Fry vs. LHP's?

 

[KluberSociety]

I like the idea of Freeman/Florial platoon at leadoff. Tyler has been putting together pretty good ABs lately, I hope we really get to see what his bat is capable of because he can be put at so many different positions depending on what our other prospects grow into.

 

[Lee]

David Fry vs. LHP's?

Rocchio is 358 OBP vs right., Fry is .303, Florial .266 and Freeman .256

in 22 AB, Fry is .600 vs Left, wow, Freeman .400, Arias .333 amd Florial .500....also wow

Maybe Rocchio vs Right, Florial .vs Left, keep Fry in 100% vs Left backing up Josh, and sometimes in vs right.

Basically split between Rocchio leading off and Florial and play fry more and use him in the 5 hole?

 

[BimboColesHair]

David Fry vs. LHP's?

I'd want him hitting 2nd, which he has already been doing here and there.

Freeman has a .250/.400/.464 slash vs lefties so far and an 18% BB rate. 18% BB rate won't last, but he's been producing and he isn't doing it with overly lucky stats vs LHP as well.

Freeman
Fry
Ramirez
Naylor
Laureano

Fill in the rest.
