needs to be hitting first in my opinion


It's not the dumbest idea to put him leadoff, but batting him 4th also helps freshman Bregman see better pithes.

Also Rhymes hits lots of singles.
I'd rather see him at the plate with a runner on second, than him on first and anyone else at the plate.

This! Plus, what good would it do to get Raph's single and then a fielder's choice because he's too slow? The advantages of a fast lead off make up for a lot of batting average points. When the lead is on first, as a real threat to run, the two hole's batting average and on base percentage is going up. Move Raph to lead off and your team batting average probably goes up, but your run production definitely goes down.
