I agree with that. But he is by far and away our best leadoff hitter, and our team is best with him hitting 1st.
Our problem is that we have 2 hitters who excel in the 2 slot. I almost look at it as Pedroia and Crawford being 2a and 2b. I just think having those 3 hitters really sets the table well, and there will be plenty of first innings when you have a couple RISP before Gonzo even gets to the plate.
