This is a discussion on Wanna know who might be a worse leadoff hitter than Juan Pierre? within the St. Louis Cardinals forum; Cesar Izturis, that's who. Per rotowire: Feb 28 Izturis probably has the inside track to getting the leadoff job this ...

They are really going to miss Eckstein. Scrappy, low strikeout hitter, and takes a lot of pitches.


a.k.a. leadoff hitter material

They will miss Eckstein but I highly doubt Izturis is the leadoff man come Opening Day. Izturis is currently hitting .100 this spring and not even LaRussa is dumb enough to ignore that horrible BA. Ludwick, Miles or Shumaker would be better choices.

Not only is he not the leadoff man, he's hitting after the pitcher.

In LaRussa's mind...he is the second lead off hitter... or the first leadoff hitter after the 1st Inning. lol Whichever way it is. lol

As for the real leadoff hitter... I think Skip will do well there. He goes out there and plays like he really wants it. I think he will surprise a lot of people.
