For some reason when Keppinger was hurt and then Hairston, someone had the bright idea Bruce should leadoff (which IMHO is a poor choice). He was knocking the cover off the ball and you really need him down in the order, but who knows?
Anyway, you are correct. With Griffey behind Bruce and Phillips and Dunn behind Griffey, the team showed offensive life, but with Bruce leading off, we are lost in getting runs.

You're right, Phillips would have to adjust his approach and he is very capable of doing that. He can hit for average, work a walk, bunt, hit doubles, we know he can hit homeruns, hit to the opposite field and has that speed. Plus he has a lot of pride and doesn’t like to look bad or be embarrassed especially when the media or camera is around. He would try very hard to do well in the leadoff spot. I remember when he came, he was trying to get Narron to hit him near the top or leadoff.
