I could have seen Rizzo thriving in the role because he's not a guy who feels like he needs to hit for power to be productive. He's a bit like Votto in that sometimes he's maybe even a little too patient for his own good.
I can see a world where Rizzo's a pretty damn good leadoff hitter.
But for some reason he's the guy they don't seem inclined to give much run there. I'm sure they've tried it, but I can't recall it.
