So Springer led off today and has been lead off for years, but makes me wonder if he can be this team's version of Josh Donaldson and be a very effective #2 hitter? I'm just not sure I like the idea of Biggio hitting far down the lineup, as I'm not sure he's a great #2 guy but I don't like him in the bottom 1/3 either, he needs lots of ABs. But then Semien has to fit in there somewhere too. Is Biggio destined for the #6 spot? I'd like to see him lead off but I'm not sure how to make all the puzzle pieces fit. Can Semien hit further down the lineup, like Ben Revere did for a while in the #9 spot?
Springer
Semien
Bichette
Hernandez
Guerero
Biggio
Gurriel Jr
Tellez
Jensen/Kirk
Is that about right? It's a pretty deep batting order either way.
