Is Dusty Baker on crack?

A little off-topic ranting: As many of you may know, I'm a San Francisco Giants fan. Yesterday, I went to a day game, which the Giants lost, 1-0. Our pitcher, Kirk Reuter (obviously) did a great job, and our offense (even more obviously) was non-existant. Part of this had to do with our leadoff hitter, Shawon Dunston. Now, Mr. Dunston has had a long and storied carrier in the majors, and by all accounts is a great guy, but...what the hell was the coaching staff thinking? Lead-off? The man entered the game hitting .103...and left it hitting .094! The man's On Base Average (OBA) is .091! As leadoff, with 4 at-bats per game, that means he'd he'd get on base once every two-and-half games!

Dusty, I love you, and I've defended a lot of things you've done in the past. But what possible rational reason could you have for putting Duston in the leadoff spot?
