    Bregman is an RBI guy. When you have a lineup with Springer and Correa in it, you can have a Springer-type (power, RBI) lead-off. The current lineup is different. Altuve is probably the best option until a Siri, Meyers, McCormick-type shows consistency.

    Altuve hit 31 bombs in the leadoff spot last year. He had 83 rbi’s. I bet he has a lot more if he’s batting 5th.

    Doesn't get as many ABs. Wouldn't hit 31 bombs. Altuve is a 1 or 2 spot hitter.

    Bregman is incredibly slow. He’s fine at the 3 and Altuve leadoff. The Tucker Brantley thing is stupid. Goodrum hitting 3rd is stupid. Dusty is a terrible strategist. He’s fine as a manager of human beings. That’s probably more important than strategy but the amount of unforced errors is dumb.

    Don't know if he's gonna contribute at the plate, but Goodrum made some nice plays at first.

    WTF is Pettis doing?

    Pena has been our best hitter in the early going.
