Tonight’s Lineup

According to DOB, here’s tonight’s lineup…

K.Johnson
Y.Escobar
N.McLouth
C.Jones
McCann
Anderson
Francoeur
Prado
Jurrjens

First let’s look at Chipper’s career stats:
Batting 3rd – .316/.412/.555 (6764 PA)
Batting 4th – .297/.400/.528 (1958 PA)

Kelly Johnson’s career stats:
Batting 1st – .261/.345/.443 (658 PA)
Batting 5-8 – .326/.396/.486 (438 PA)

Nate McLouth’s career stats
Batting 1st – .261/.343/.478 (844 PA)
Batting 2nd – .260/.350/.532 (201 PA)
Batting 3rd – .268/.348/.418 (418 PA)

Yunel Escobar’s career stats
Batting 1st – .309/.371/.428 (358 PA)
Batting 2nd – .293/.365/.417 (577 PA)

According to these the best lineup would probably be as follows:
Escobar
McLouth
Chipper
McCann
any combination of Johnson, Anderson, Frenchy and Prado.

But who am I, I guess we’ll see.

    I think you could switch up Escobar and McLouth according to RHP/LHP, sure McLouth’s stats drop in the leadoff spot, but you’d also be getting his speed on the basepaths earlier
