Post I am looking for a hitter...please help

I want to get a killer lead off hitter for my Brewers. Currently my lead off hitter is Nyjer Morgan, and he can barely get the ball out of the infield.

Basically I want:
1. Killer contact. This way I can work the count by taking pitches, but still not be at fear of striking out.
2. Some pop. The problem with Morgan is his power is so low he cannot hit the ball out of the infield w/o using power, which really defeats his purpose.
3. Discipline. You know, the type of hitter who if I check-swing with x it's not necessarily a strike.
4. Some base running ability. One thing Morgan is excellent at is moving runners. So, my leadoff guy won't have to steal all the time.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Aaron Hill
Martin Prado

And Norichika Aoki, but you already have him.

Thanks guys. Nacho karaoke has only a d or c contact. Trades are tough with Milwaukee because the entire organization only has 4 a potentials

Because of such an already terrible farm system my brewers are definitely in a playoff push.

A bit unorthodox, but Jesus Guzman?

Dexter Fowler would be a good option.

I would just edit Aoki's ratings to reflect his real life stats. he should have ratings like this:

66 CL, 82 CR, 24 PWL, 42 PWR, 79 VIS, 66 DIS, 70 SPD, 32 ARM, 58 ACC, 68 REAC, 71 FLD

This is from Bahnzo's calc and weighted 2012 Fangraphs fan ratings for defense. Nothing wrong with boosting a guy to better reflect his real life ability IMO.
