  • I know Macha did it a lot during spring training, but it looks like he's going to do it a lot during the season … personally, I'm against it. alcides should hit leadoff. short track record, but his ML level at bats + winter league + spring training lead me to believe he'll have a relatively high OBP. weeks has the OBP to hit lead off, but i think the power he can show will go to waste in terms of run production at the top. move him to the 2 hole. until gomez can develop some better plate discipline, he should hit 8th or 9th.
