I would have Wilkerson batting leadoff. You have to go on the present not the past? So Chris Shelton is a better player right now than Albert Pujols. No, because what a person has done in the past dictates, for the most part, what they will do in the future. It does not make sense to throw out what Wilkerson has done his entire career and go with a guy who has been light years behind him in production. The season is barely a week old and already you are using these numbers to determine a player&quot;s true skill. By the way, using Brown&quot;s current .294 OBP as a defense for him batting leadoff isn&quot;t real effective.
