The Giants don’t have a good option for hitting leadoff, so let Belt do it

I generally don’t care about lineup construction. If a team ever finds itself with a less-optimal hitter at the plate, that’s more a problem of roster construction than in which order the team bats. But the Giants have been atrocious the first time through the order. They’ve failed to score in the first inning through the first 20 games of the season. It might be time to shake things up and take it from the top.

What I posit, is that Steven Duggar, despite being the fastest player on the team, should not be hitting leadoff.
