Would Counsell be a better fit and if so where would you bat him in these lineups? Grudz is a little better fielder and hits for a higher average however, Counsell can play 2b and could be my backup at SS. He also has a higher OBP and is a better base stealer....maybe I'm answering my own question :roll:
