I know what you DON'T want out of your leadoff guy, and that's 3 Ks in 4 at bats, which is what I see Wilkerson doing every night. If it's not Kinsler, get someone else in there. I just don't know who else it would be.
A temporary change might be in order, but Wilkerson has proved throughout his career that he can get on base at a very acceptable clip to hit leadoff. He will come around.
