Chone Figgins had a dream run in 2007 season which made him the sixth best in the American League and he still feels that he has to travel a long way in order to achieve his goal of being the best leadoff hitter the game has ever seen. The third baseman said that there’s always room for improvement and trying to become a better player is part of achieving the set goal. He feels that he will have to be at his best every year in order to be classified as an all time leadoff hitter. The Angels leadoff hitter hit .156 in May last season and followed it up with .461 in June and was the baseball majors’ number one hitter from May 31 till the end of the season.

His first full stint for the Los Angeles Angels was the 2007 season where he had 41 steals in 115 matches. Mike Scioscia, the manager of Angels, feels that Figgins has got all that it needs to be the all time leadoff hitter. Figgins spends extra time at Tempe, Ariz, to improve his hitting skills and he is looking for guidance from everyone including former players to better his batting. Figgins aims at bettering his 2007 season record and his aim is to score a lot of runs in the 2008 season.
