In thinking Manny should lead off to start the season. Let the other candidates hit in the bottom of the order until they prove they can get on base the majors. Then move manny to 2nd or 3rd

Xavier Avery. Led off 15 games for us in 2012 and put up a .658 OPS in those games. Dig a little deeper in the SSS and see that he hit SP's to the tune of 288/364/390/753 in 68 AB's vs SP's.

The guy could be everything we wanted David Lough to be. Drop some bunts down. Play great COF defense. Steal some bases. Plus he's not 22 years old anymore. He's 26 and should have a chip on his shoulder. Take some walks. Bunt. Put pressure on the defense and get on for the big boys. Play him vs RHP.

David Lough was a great defender, with great speed. And some power.

Probably realistic.
