Well whatev. I’ll let it go cause I’m not in the mood to argue but there’s one skill that makes a good leadoff guy and that’s getting on base, and Mauer gets on base more than Ichiro. But for one game it’s not a huge deal. If my favorite team did something dumb like that, well they do, I’d be more mad.

@fetch- fine. i like thin mints too. Im just saying, Ichiro is better suited to be a leadoff hitter than Mauer.

everyone in the history of MLB who had a higher OBP. I’m sure listing them all would take a long time.

If ichiro is one of the greatest lead off hitters of all time, then i’m one of the greatest writers of all time.

but no way should Ichiro hit 1st

just one of the greatest leadoff hitters of all time. But yeah, lets have a catcher like Mauer as the leadoff hitter.
