Brett Butler

[severus]

Definitely one of the best leadoff hitters ever. If you've never heard of him or if you just want to hear a great argument for him, check out this article: http://www.fieldofignorance.com/2011...eadoff-hitter/


I'm curious to hear what people think.

Let's start off by hearing what you think!

[runningshoes]

.290 batting average, more than 2,000 hits and 558 stolen bases. Definitely a stand up guy, in terms of lead off hitters.

[Mudge]

Solid, but not shining.

Good leadoff hitter, especially in the years in the NL West with SF and LAD. Mediocre fielder. Stole a lot of bases, but also got caught a lot (2.1 to 1 success rate, which is not good).
