What is a good OBP for a leadoff man? Obviously the higher the better, but if that is not possible, what is a good figure: 40+ 45 + chances? Basically, what is the lowest OBP any one of you would have in the leadoff and # 2 spots, or even #9?
Also, what is the definition of a good hitter. I have Manny and Nevin in my team and am not sure who is best. I am leaning towards Manny but am not 100% sure. Is it simply the hit chances or hits and TB?

I think .994 is a good OBP.

for a lead off man I try not to go lower than 45 obp chances. For a #2 ideally you want someone with good tb's, good obp and no/low dp's. Drew to me is the ideal #2 in the 05 set.

Of course if you are talkng ATG2, then it's different because there are sooooooo many more options, I wouldn't go less than 50 ob at the top 3 spots.
