4 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger and second baseman Dylan Moore are both candidates to be used in the top spot in the lineup, in addition to expected everyday leadoff hitter J.P. Crawford. Haniger, who is leading off in Wednesday's spring training game, was already expected to be in the top third of the order, but should this become a regular occurrence, Haniger's counting stats could shift from RBI to runs scored. Moore would also get a big boost in value, given that he was previously expected to be in the bottom half of the batting order. More time at leadoff would maximize his potential to score runs and give him plenty of opportunities to steal bases.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
