Manager Kevin Cash said that Forsythe is one of the many candidates for the Rays' leadoff spot in 2016, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Forsythe didn't bat leadoff a single time in 2015, staying primarily at the cleanup or fifth spot in the batting order. The 29-year-old profiles decently as a leadoff hitter given his .359 OBP last season, but the career-high 68 RBI he compiled last season could take a hit, while his runs scored would tick up if the change does come to fruition.
