Why would you put one of your better power guys at leadoff? It sure didn't help the nationals to have their best hitter leading off.
Now, I could see him leading off vs. RHP, but lefties? Not a chance.
vs. RHP, here is what I'd do:
Johnson
Overbay
Wells
Thomas
Glaus
Rios
Zaun
Hill
Random SS
Lefties:
Johnson
Rios
Wells
Glaus
Thomas
Hill
Overbay
Catcher (Likely Phillips, but Zaun too)
Random SS
If Overbay/Zaun are in the lineup together vs. LHP, I'd bat One of them 6th and the other one 8th - making sure they don't go back to back.
Glaus is a bad hitter vs. RHP, he shouldn't bat cleanup vs. them.
