I think right now Buxton should leadoff, but once Arraez comes back I think he should take over the duty. Buxton has been extremely impressive right now, but the only thing that concerns me for him being in the leadoff role is the inability to take a walk. Arraez does a good job taking pitches and working the count when he's going good. I think you swap Arraez for Buxton in the order. I also think having Buxton batting before Sano and Donaldson would be nice. I'd go with: 1. Arraez (2B) 2. Polanco (SS) 3. Cruz (DH) 4. Rosario (LF) 5. Buxton (CF) 6. Donaldson (3B) 7. Sano (1B) 8. Kepler (RF) 9. Jeffers © Arraez and Polanco are the table setters with Cruz and Rosario providing some right-handed and left-handed pop, respectively. Buxton can also provide pop and he can also be a guy to get on base before some big swingers. If he gets on base, he can distract the pitcher with his speed, and that could force the pitcher to throw less off-speed stuff to Donaldson and Sano.
