Just my opinion, but it also includes that you have a real weakness against hard righties. I would look for a 4R to a 6R lefthanded power hitter with a .500 or greater slugging percentage. 2 out of 3 starters are usually righties.

Good luck and have fun :)

grady, hanley, derek, mike, corey, eric, orlando, yorvit, & jose. Id consider flopping jose and hanley vs righties. Hope that helps, I am new to strat myself, but that is my gut feeling. Keith

Yes, if available and you can afford him. It will balance your lineup. I don't know his clutch, but bat him somewhere 4 through 6 against righties and lower in the lineup against lefties.

And as far as pitching goes, my 3 divisional opponents have Rich Hill, Andy Pettitte, CC Sabathia, Johan Santana, Scott Kazmir and Barry Zito in their rotations...

Hawpe would be a perfect fit for your team. Bat him fifth against righties. Then Lowell and Byrnes have to pitched to avoid Hawpe in clutch situations and both of those hitters will make a problem for the opposition. Bat Hawpe 7th against lefties unless you think your catcher is better against lefties.
