This morning, Mitch asked Wedge if he considered moving Figgins to leadoff spot.  Wedge said that that would have been an interesting experiment when Ichiro was struggling so bad, but he didn't because Figgins was struggling so bad as well.  Wedge made it clear that had Figgins been hitting, he'd have tried it.  But since Figgins wasn't hitting, he didn't have that option.
From the tone and all, tt was pretty clear to me from the conversation that Wedge would like to unload Figgins if it is at all possible.  When Mitch suggested to Wedge that a change of scenery might be best for Figgins, Wedge seemed very much in agreement. 
I didn't get the impression at all that Wedge was among those who believed moving Figgins to the leadoff spot was a good idea.
