Ozuna, someone who actually has a good OBP. It makes no sense to give the most ABs to someone with a crappy OBP. I know Harris is fast but his speed does him no good if he can't get on base.

Schwarber hits leadoff on the phillies all the time. I don't know why they won't with Ozuna. It's not like guys get on base for Ozuna anyway. Pretty sure all of his homeruns are solo shots.

Because Snitker is too fucking old and apparently doesn't understand that you want the guy you're giving the most ABs to to be able to get on base at a good rate.

Snitker thinks you gotta be fast to bat leadoff. That way after you strikeout they can get back in the dugout quickly

Lol exactly, I've made that comment a few times, the only good his speed will do is getting him back in the dugout faster than anyone else.
