I think either way he'll do well this season, regardless of batting order. If he sticks in that leadoff spot he will be a big time roto contributor.

Exactly. While I like him either way this year, leading off significantly increases his value.

Rotoworld included him in their most recent article, and they make a good point. Out of his 569 PAs, 332 were out of the 8th or 9th spot - and he still had 97 runs. Now, Jeter led the league with 729 PAs and only scored 14 more runs than Gardner. Imagine Gardner's .383 OBP with those PAs at the top of the Yankee lineup vs. Jeter and his .340 OBP.
