[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1766402, member: 747321"] It wasn't because of spring training, it was because of last season. A leadoff batter's job is to get on base. Here's how Tommy Edman ranked in that category last season: [ATTACH type="full"]18011[/ATTACH] Of the top 9 guys in plate appearances Edman ranked [B][U]7th[/U][/B] in OBP. Nearly anyone in the lineup would've been a better leadoff guy. Kudos to him for fixing it but Oli was not wrong for yanking leadoff duties from him until he could prove himself up to the task, which he has done. [/QUOTE]
