Here is my starting roster. What's the best line-up vs rhp?

My home is Petco (1 hr/1hr).

c : Burke 42 hits, 47 ob 47tb +6
1b: Snow 30 hits 53 ob 48tb +1
2b: Jimenez 44 ob
ss: Izturis: weakest hitter. Hit-and-run B
3b: Beltre 77 tb -16
lf: Rivera 46 on-base 43 tb 34 hits -8
cf: Kotsay 38ob 44tb
rf: Suzuki 45 hits 46 ob 52 tb
dh: Newhan 40 ob 43tb +6

"Funny" as in "good" :) Though I guess another power hitter would do you some good.

Rivera, Ichiro, Beltre, Snow, Burke, Newhan, Jimenez, Kotsay, Izturis

I'd go this way Lucky -

1) Jimenez (L) 2B
2) Ichiro (L) RF
3) Beltre (R) 3B
4) Snow (L) 1B
5) Burke (R) C
6) Rivera (R) LF
7) Newhan (L) DH
8) Izturis (L) SS
9) Kotsay (L) CF

My preference is speed at the top of the lineup, over Rivera's slight higher OBP.
