I think Gardner is the better leadoff hitter, see's more pitches (although strikes out a ton) and gives the guys a good look at what the pitcher has that night. Ellsbury is a little more aggressive at the plate. <br /><br />What works good in your lineup is Ellsbury is also more aggressive on the basepaths.
