The Marlins are planning on using Gordon as their leadoff hitter, the team's official site reports. With the acquisition of Gordon from the Dodgers, the Marlins want to infuse speed atop their batting order. Subsequently, Christian Yelich will move down, either to the second or third spot. Manager Mike Redmond is expected to try a few different lineups during spring training. Gordon is hardly a lock to keep the top spot all season, as he struggled in the second half with the Dodgers and posted a .300 on-base percentage after the All-Star break.
