You disagree with the "logic" but you fail to offer a counter statement for why strikeouts matter more or less in the #3 spot compared to the #1 spot. If you are going to knowingly make comments that are going to generate disagreement, then it is important that you provide some sort of basis or argument for your side of the debate. I think most people on this site would not care if Rickie Weeks struck out 250 times as log as he had an .830 OPS with 83 RBI. The purpose of a leadoff hitter is to get on base and score runs. Weeks does that. So as long as he keeps his OPS up, who cares how he makes his outs. It's fine to have a debate, but one-liners are better suited for other online message boards.
