Right, he does strikeout a lot. But striking out alot does not mean you can't be a leadoff guy. He's not a free swinger that strikes out, like Soriano. He's (traditionally) a very patient hitter, that sees a lot of pitches, that walks a lot and strikes out a lot. You can strike out a lot and still have a very nice OBP, which still makes you a good leadoff hitter.
Wilkerson will be fine.
