Many questions remain after another early postseason exit for the Cleveland Indians. Some expected (will they resign Brantley?) and some new: who should bat leadoff for the Indians?
Francisco Lindor manned the spot in 2018, batting leadoff in 153 games (he played in 158). It’s not as if he’s been bad in the spot; quite good actually.
He hit a franchise record nine leadoff home runs. All but 19 of his at-bats came in the leadoff spot and he’s an MVP candidate so yes, very good in the leadoff spot. So how is this even a question when Lindor has been hitting so well in that spot?
