I think that putting any weight on a hitter's BA after 14 games and 38 AB's is somewhat pointless... Point is/was, we are throwing a guy in the lead-off spot who is not hitting, has no speed, and isn't really known as an on base guy. His average through 14 games is meaningless, I agree, however, the fact that he is providing nothing offensively, should determine where he hits in the line-up, and lead-off isn't the spot for him, under any circumstance.
