read that and you'll get a better understanding. That lineup is going to make a LOT of outs, and when you get down to that many outs it's extremely important to squeeze every last run out of it, hence why you have Ichiro hitting first and Branyan hitting second to get as many home runs as you can.

I see....the logic is based around the lineup being so terrible haha....I see.


nice :cool:

But the number 9 hitter is awfully difficult to place, I maybe would swap 8 and 9, depending on speed of course.

And not so sure about one and two as well.

I would never use someone with a .305 OBP as a leadoff guy unless everybody else on my team was, somehow, below that.

maybe you missed it, I put the number next to the batter and that is the order, not the order they are going down in.

See the 7. for the seventh hitter?

HGM

this is the real order

1. - .300/360/410
2. - .275/400/400
3. - .320/390/550
4. - .255/310/600
5. - .290/320/525
6. - .250/340/420
7. - .240/305/410
8. - .265/300/400
9. - .220/290/400

see the numbers ;)

Yeah, I got that after tang pointed it out to me.

yeah, think that is the same lineup I had too. :D

ours are similar, but not the same

Yeah, I went with Jeff's lineup for the most part. I just don't like the idea of having someone with any slugging ability being a leadoff hitter, if you can avoid it. You're wasting a lot of extra base hits in instances when no one is going to be on base to be driven in.

If the Tigers had consistently hit Granderson 3rd and Magglio leadoff last season, they probably win the division.

The Book, which can be completely viewed online at Amazon, devotes an entire chapter to this. It is CHAPTER 5 — BATTING (DIS)ORDER. This might be of interest too: http://berselius.blogspot.com/2010/0...simulator.html
