When the LA Angels moved Justin Upton into the leadoff spot, it seemed like a high-risk move.
Upton was struggling terribly, so giving him the most at-bats on the team was either going to derail the team’s offense, or give him enough at-bats to get out of his slump.
I hope you bet on the latter, because that’s how it went down.
