Man, forgot to highlight SB and SO on line up, but I'm sure everyone gets the idea.

Dude. Good stuff!

 

[da55bums]

Team J's top 4 batters might be the best top 4 of any team.

 

[steveringo]

Team J's top 4 batters might be the best top 4 of any team.

His 3-4 for sure....

 

[da55bums]

Wilson stealing bases before Carew at the 1/2....incredible. problem is after 1st 4, a big drop off. overall lineup goes to Team I.

Do you have charts for al the lineups?

 

[blstoker]

Do you have charts for al the lineups?

Yes, but they're in a spread sheet and I haven't had time (physical therapy) to put them in individually yet, and I probably won't until tonight (bills).

 

[broncosmitty]

Robin Yount hitting 9th catches my eye. Just a wild guess he's the best hitter at the bottom of the order in this mock.

Still undecided on this one though.

I would have batted him 2nd or 5th, but that's just me...

 

[broncosmitty]

Second if it was my call, I think. The second best shortstop on this mock is a leadoff hitter, and a good one.

I actually had fun picking the lineup. I tried many different lineups and in the end I thought having a Hall of Famer bat ninth would be the most fun!

I like it and makes some sense when you look over the whole lineup.

It's a damn good lineup for sure.

Could use some more votes in this one...
