Aaron Boone isnt a leadoff hitter. In the last 3 years he has hit .253/.351/.431. Not to mention, he hits .206 and .208 the second and third time hes seen the pitcher in a game.
So you want a below average hitter who is just slightly less horrible against lefties, hasnt ledoff in at least 3 years, and does progressively worse the more he sees a pitcher, leading off and getting the most at bats in the game?
