April 6, 200917 yr QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 06:25 AM) So if you're not defending Wise as the lead off hitter, but think Getz might not be able to do it, who should leadoff? Alexei-->Getz (that was intended to be an arrow, not a "greater than" sign - edit) Alexei is not the typical leadoff hitter at all, he doesn't take pitches ... but his aggressiveness and speed on the paths I think would be better for colder weather as a transition to Getz. And because of Alexei's history of being moved around in Cuba, I think he is so tough mentally he would do it for the team. Edited April 6, 200917 yr by bmags

And because of Alexei's history of being moved around in Cuba, I think he is so tough mentally he would do it for the team. I love the idea of batting Getz-Alexei 1-2 in the order. Have Getz see alot of pitches and get on consistently (as he has done in his entire career). Then Alexei seeing a steady diet of fastball strikes batting in the 2-spot with Q protecting him. I think we'd put up a boat-load of runs early in games if that happens. Ozzie-Kenny, are you listening? Please... please make it happen.
