A) Revere is the furthest thing from a legitimate lead-off man
B) batting average is the most over rated archaic stat that still somehow gets attention. You need to look at OBP and OPS to find your true value.
C) Revere really is quite mediocre. At best. I won't provide you with reasons but you are free to look him up. I suggest fangraphs as an appropriate site to start.
