Why not give him a shot, yes he is not fast, but so what, he gets on base and isn't that more important? I mean bat him leadoff, but Phillips in the 2 spot with Votto in the 3 hole and Bruce batting 4.

Well, IMO a true lead off hitter is what this team needs, a High OBP guy...Originally Posted by brm7675
In a perfect world you are right, and I am sure Walt is efforting to get that done, but if come opening day he hasn't, I still would like to see Dusty think outside the box and give Hannigan a try, he can't be any worse then Orlando was and how long did Dusty give that a try.
How about we just stay in Baseball world and the Reds acquire a High OBP guy, the reds were 2nd to last in the NL in OBP for Lead Off hitters last year.
that is way way way much eaiser to say then do. Again we have to look at what possibilities we have on teh team presently that would work and I think hannigan might be that answer.
I am not saying I want Hanigan to Lead off...
But answer this:
Who leads off when Hernadez is the Catcher?
"Clogging up the bases isn't that great to me." I think I've heard that before...don't really agree.
What if this is as good as it gets?
