Albies is a candidate to lead off against lefties this season, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Albies spent stretches early last season as the Braves' leadoff hitter, finding himself in that spot 40 times, though he didn't lead off in a single game in the second half of the year. The switch hitter posted a rather poor .213/.283/.412 line against righties last season but hit an excellent .335/.357/.548 against southpaws.
