I'm trying to figure out my ideal lineup. This league uses players stats from LAST YEAR, so you can just look at their 2010 stats to get a good idea of how they'll perform in my sim season. Here's my guys:
Pitcher
To start, I used this line up generator, which helped, but it doesn't take into account base stealing ability, which will be a big part of my team with Bourn and Crawford.
I think I will definitely bat Pujols second to increase his plate appearances throughout the season.
I will definitely bat the pitcher 8th and use Bourn 9th to act as a second lead off man.
Who do you think should lead off? Soto has the best OBP, but is clearly not a base stealing threat. It's a somewhat steep drop to Crawford in OBP, but would his base running skills make up for the difference? Weeks is another possibility.
Swisher seems like a good candidate for the clean up spot with his good OBP and power.
What do you guys think? Thanks!
