Should Andruw Jones lead off for the Braves?

By Gary Huckabay The Atlanta Braves' offense was almost as formidable as its pitching staff last year, scoring 791 runs - the second highest total among teams playing in oxygenated atmospheres, and only four fewer than San Diego. A large portion of that was due to the excellent performance of the hitters in the Braves' leadoff slot. Kenny Lofton was the Braves' center fielder and leadoff hitter for most of the year.

Despite missing 40 games with hamstring injuries, he put up an excellent .409 OBP. Part of this was nullified by his sudden inability to steal bases well, but he was still a fine lead-off man. When he did go down to injury, Jeff Blauser and his .405 OBP (.391 when batting leadoff) replaced him without the offense missing a beat.

Kudos to Bobby Cox for moving Blauser up, rather than a more prototypical speed guy like, say, Michael Tucker. The two combined to score an impressive 113 runs out of the leadoff slot. Looking for to 1998, both are now gone - Lofton was wisely ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
