Fantasy Impact:
Boone also said that he'll flirt with Aaron Judge batting leadoff against tough lefties, though that seems unlikely. Hicks batted all over the lineup during his breakout 2018 season, including seeing 146 plate appearances at leadoff (his most of any spot). To the extent he moves to the top of the lineup on a full-time basis, owners should lower their projections for RBI, but increase them for runs.
