When he starts, why doesn't Tolbert bat leadoff?

Hi, sorry for taking so long to approve this comment, somehow I missed it!

Paging @Kevin O'Brien or @Philip Ruo or @Eli Nitz on this one.

I get with his speed it is tempting and he doesn’t chase which is nice. But he also struggles to generate walks and his contact on pitches in the zone is concerning. I also think with a leadoff hitter, you want someone who you feel comfortable getting the most at bats in a game and i just don’t think Q feels comfortable giving him more at bats in a game than Bobby and Jac.

His profile is intriguing albeit inflated by that crazy hitter streak he had.
