Leadoff hitter while Mullins is out

[Spy Fox]

Who would you put at leadoff for this period while Mullins is out? Batting order isn't the most important thing in the world, but there's no clear heir and I'm curious to see how they handle this.

Hays would be the hot hand approach. Henderson would be the gutsy batting-eye, let's see how he handles this approach. Frazier would be the veteran, don't strike out approach. If Cowser is up before Mullins recovers, he could even get the leadoff-in-your-MLB-debut treatment.

I'd probably start off with Henderson vs righties, Hays vs lefties. But I predict Frazier will get most of the nods against righties.

I prefer Frazier up to bat with men on. He's the most clutch hitter on the team. Has lifetime batting average over .300 in high leverage situations. He has the clutch gene.

I’m guessing Frazier.

Agreed.

Any word on how long Mullins is supposed to be out? Guess it's buried in the Aaron Hicks thread...

I'll do it.

I actually might try Gunnar.  He’s got a decent OBP, and good speed.  It might kind of jump-start him, too.   But only against RHP.

Not buried as far as I know. They just haven’t said yet.

The obvious answer here is Aaron Hicks.

Frazier is indeed the first game answer:

According to Hyde they hope weeks not months. He said the news was better than they thought.

I like Hays, he's hitting well. Get him as many ABs as possible.

[SilverRocket]

Adley seems like the easy choice. Highest OBP, not an excessive number of wasted solo HRs, shouldn't be affected by any pressure like Gunnar might.

All things considered, that's a pretty good looking lineup. I like it!

Adley.
