Seems pointless to me having Bautista lead off in games Thole plays. Just have Travis or Upton lead off.

I've really enjoyed Bautista leading off to be honest. Put the best 3 batters at the top of the line-up and don't give the other starter any time to settle in. Yesterday's game was a great example. Jose gets on and then a bomb makes it 2-0 before anyone is out. It's a great way to start the game.
