Fan Poll: Who should be the Phillies’ leadoff hitter?

On Tuesday, we did a deep dive on the pros and cons of Kyle Schwarber leading off for the Phillies.

Could change be coming this season? Rob Thomson provided some interesting comments on the topic when asked about possibly batting Bryce Harper first at the Winter Meetings.

“I’ve thought about that too,” Thomson said. “That’s something that would be a long conversation, I think. I’m not sure Bryce would be willing to go there. I think the more at-bats you get for the best hitters, the better chances you have. That’s the idea behind it. He gets more at-bats to get into the Hall of Fame.”

Thomson went on to add on that Harper could “possibly” be open to moving to the No. 2.

Where do you stand in this debate? Would you keep Schwarber and his 40-home run potential in the leadoff spot or would you go for a different look?
