Ozzie Guillen on the Sox leadoff batter:
“The one, and he’s not a typical leadoff hitter, is Gordon [Beckham]. Gordon takes a lot of pitches there, he knows what he’s doing, he’s not going to panic. He can run a little bit, but I don’t think he can steal bases the way we want him to, but I always say, the leadoff hitter, I don’t care how many bases you can steal, you’ve got to be on base. I’d rather have a guy get on base than a guy that steals 100 bases, but is never there. Last year, I think our leadoff hitter on Opening Day was Wise.”
