Ryan Hannigan..answer to who leads off?
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...

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.

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.
