Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar would both be above average leadoff hitters compared to other leadoff hitters in MLB.
If your opinion that 120 years of baseball history of putting your best OPS hitters at 3 and 4 is wrong and defies the math, then I have no argument...we just have different opinions.
But if you're like every big league manager over the past SEVERAL decades...
there is no reason are lineup shouldn't be
Cain
Hosmer
Gordon
Butler
or
Escobar
Cain
Gordon
Butler
over
Gordon
Escobar
Butler
Moustakas
