He is arguably the worst hitter in the lineup….the leadoff spot is no place for your worst hitter.

With Furcal struggling, it makes sense to give him a shot, with the option of bringing Punto off the bench as a defensive replacement later.

Don’t you know how annoying that is?

Also, he is god awful in the field…..just don’t see this as a good move. Not saying he won’t play well, because who the hell knows…but it is a bad move in my opinion.
