The reality of the situation is Cust will have the highest w/OBA and the highest SLG on the team unless someone surprises or Cust falls apart.<br /><br />"The Book" by Tom Tango (who was once employed by the M's) has research that suggests you should put your best hitters in the 2 and 4 slot in order to optimize runs. In this case, you'd probably want to have Ichiro and Cust occupy those spots. But again, it's pretty unlikely that Ichiro moves out of leadoff.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235840519829432480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378508849477149324.post-83352737403062193692011-02-26T09:49:50.444-08:002011-02-26T09:49:50.444-08:00Ichiro is NOT wasted in the lead off spot if you a...Ichiro is NOT wasted in the lead off spot if you actually have some hitters behind him that can knock him in!!! That is the reason it looks like Ichiro shouldn't be lead off... he rarely scores any more because the lineup is so anemic! He should be a scoring machine and used to be!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172831294260470797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378508849477149324.post-75761349392505455282011-02-26T09:47:01.722-08:002011-02-26T09:47:01.722-08:00What you can take away from this is that the syste...What you can take away from this is that the system you used that determined that Cust is a lead off hitter is a severely FLAWED system ;) He is hardly capable of being a major league player let alone a lead off hitter ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172831294260470797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378508849477149324.post-15432792026514503882011-02-25T18:52:55.004-08:002011-02-25T18:52:55.004-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
