Batting Leadoff...

The Free Press is on a roll today. Here's a little side-by-side comparison of two potential leadoff men for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Manager Davey Johnson seems to have already made his decision.

Who would you choose to bat leadoff?

Games 137 141
At-bats 556 553
Runs 76 112
Homers 11 22
RBI 59 66
Steals 47 12
AVG. .277 .280
OBP .349 .365
Slug. % .437 .494

Me too. The player in the first column is Jimmy Rollins, our mystery star in column 2 is Granderson.
