I still think batting leadoff is hurting Rickie Couldn't agree more. Before Weeks was stuffed into the leadoff role to fit Ned's nice little lineup sheet he was slated for somewhere else potentially 2 or 5. Weeks still has good trade value because there are about a dozen GM's around the league who know he is being used inappropriately. It's hard to develop when you are miscast. Just because he is our best option doesn't mean that is his best overall use. Why do you think we spent so much time trying to get a leadoff guy offseason. Then Weeks gave management false hopes by overproducing late last season. I just would hate for him to go to another team get put in a better position and become an all-star, but I could see it happening.
