Who should be the O's leadoff hitter?

I’d prefer he show an ability to hit at the major league level first.

Fielding could use some improvement too if he isn't going to be a DH.

Yeah I wasn’t going to mention that.... I try to be polite. But since you mention it, yeah, a bit of prowess with the glove wouldn’t go amiss...

Is Nate Mclouth available?

I would love to see Cakes back.

He's signed by the Braves through this year, in '21 he'll be 37.  Are you getting nostalgic over the Surhoff and Conine swan song contracts?

Or were you referring to Palmer?  I'm sure Palmer thinks he could stage a comeback in his 70s.

I meant it as a joke and I meant Nick, and I know, its more likely that I get a date with Kate Upton, than Nick coming back, and neither is happening.

I remember Palmer's comeback at 46(?????) and how that failed. He thought he still had major league quality stuff.

I like Hanser Alberto leading off against lefties and DJ Stewart against right handers. 

Hays just does not walk enough, although maybe sticking him in the leadoff spot will make him focus more on his approach.

At this point, I really dont care who leads off, I just wish they were playing ball.

DJ Stewart. depending on if he's in the lineup everyday. Hays had a .299 OBP in 378 PA's for Norfolk last year. Thats not a typo.

DJ was heading to the IR, according to Roch

At least three players were headed to the injured list.

All bets are off with opening day pushed back at least a couple of months, but the original March 26 start was happening without outfielders Trey Mancini and DJ Stewart and reliever Evan Phillips.

I'll settle for Chris Davis batting leadoff if it means we get to watch baseball.
