I went by this when I declared he had never hit leadoff. He did apparently have one PA:

Marlon Byrd 2013 Batting Splits - Baseball-Reference.com




Either way, I get what you guys are saying. It's just clearly not conventional and appears off when you see a guy like Byrd leading off, but with that said, I can understand how it'd be impossible to create the proper algorithms to starting lineups if a lot of it in real life is based on feel rather than pure #s.

Here's another one though. I'm in my first year and realized that I was closed out by David Robertson, not Mariano River. And it's not like he lost his job because he's pitching poorly. His stat line reads:

4-0, 0.34 ERA, 26.2 IP, 0.68 WHIP, 10.8 K/9

For the first time I put on commish privileges and tinkered with another team. That just didn't seem right!
