Struggle with lead off hitter
-
Cobb, Mantle, or Jackie are usually my Go To's. I've got Jackie Playing First and Leading off cause I just can't hit with Frank.

Cobb, Mantle, Trout then Ruth in that order. Walker is a pinch hitter at this point in the game. Not saying he is not great but the other guys are way better IMO
Nice order idea.

I'll second the Lou Brock vote. I was prepared to buy Cobb since I took Kershaw, but Lou is just so good. Kind of a Cobb Lite maybe but he hits for better power than his attributes might suggest, especially against LHP. Plus if you're in a drag bunt/steal cheesing mood he can hold his own with Cobb too!

For a long time I was using Signature Jackie as my leadoff guy. More recently I've been using lightning Tatis.

Forget cobb and his weird [censored] swing. Get Lou Brock and thank me when he brings you the title!

I lead with sanberg, follow with tatis and then mantle cleanup Ruth. Got trout sitting 5th just in case. That seems to work for me
-
I’ve had a lot of success with Ozzie smith leading off and then Cobb batting second.
-
Cobb, Rollins, and Brock have been the best leadoff hitters I have used so far.
-
Mantle at lead off is amazing. The dude is just disruptive, he can draw a lot of walks and slap hits all over the field and nothing causes a rage quit quicker than Mantle hitting a no doubter on the first pitch of the game
-
I couldn't get it going with Hornsby either, for whatever reason. Cobb is leading off for me now and I like him there with Mantle in the 2 slot
