    Please explain how BJ Upton is a lead-off hitter

    BJ Upton is terrible
    Hitting .217 and leads MLB in strikeouts

    Guy should not even be on a MLB roster yet somehow he is a leadoff hitter. Wow.

    this. You see this in baseball from adult league all the way to little league.

    black kids always get put in the lead off spot. I think coaches do it to intimidate the opposition.

    When i was around 13 we were playing a kid who threw about 80ish when pitching, this day he was behind the plate. One of our guys tried to steal 3rd, he beams it to 3rd...3rd baseman gets fukking domed. Ambulance etc kid was in hospital a few days. Being from Brownsburg kids are usually pretty good but this 3rd baseman, meh (Drew Storen, Tucker Barnhart, Lance Lynn, Gordon Hayward, Chris Jones) Anyways, moral of the story, that creates a large amount of intimidation seeing that.
