Don’t think I want a guy with a sub-.300 OBP hitting leadoff.

More PAs for their best HR hitter by a mile would be nice though

He hasn’t even been their best hitter this season. Let alone the complete lack of track record.

Horton hasn’t allowed a run in over a month, we caught him at the worst possible time

At least he worked a full count, that’s more than most on this team have against Horton

They’ll be out of it as long as Horton is on the mound I expect
