" 'We’d had DJ in the leadoff spot for a few years and it’s got nothing to do with speed,' Boone said. 'You always want the unicorn. I want Rickey Henderson leading off, a guy that gets on and can really run. But if you really sit down and think about that, it’s kind of a little ridiculous. You want a good player hitting in that spot. You want to go with a guy that gets on base hitting in that spot.
'Yeah,
it’s great if anyone can run. It’s great if the three hitter can run,
the four hitter. The biggest thing is I want a good hitter that gets on
base a lot. Donaldson and a lot of our guys fit that mold.' "
Unanswered question ... where is DJ playing?
DH?
So Gleyber can play a subpar 2B instead?
