Who do you guys think it is and why?

Jose Reyes

ichiro suzuki, hands down. nobody in the league even sniffs his ability to hit to all fields, and poke through with the 100 ft grounder. he also possesses phenomenal speed, whcih keeps him from grounding into double plays, and the ability to turn singles by those underneath him in the order into run scoring drives, as he can get from 1st to third, even home in a matter of moments.

I agree that Ichiro is, but Reyes is right on his heels.

Reyes for sure. so far this season, Kelly Johnson is 2nd, highest OBP in the NL for leadoff hitters ;)

Reyes. He's finally maturing and taking some walks. Combine that with a .300+ AVG and his ability to create havoc on the basepaths, just the best.

Kelly Johnson, nuff said...

I am a big Johnny Damon fan, was a big Furcal fan, but as far as the best out of all of them, I am gona have to say Ichiro

Damon was a good lead off man for us last year, he hit 24hrs, scored 100+ runs and was hitting around .300 until the foot injury he had last year started bothering him at the end of the season. he still hit in the high 280s
