I think this squad has a great chance to crush a few, a little unsure how to arrange these guys, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would spend a little bit more on pitching, especially starting pitching. I would drop Young and Beckett and go after a stud (Harden or Volstad) and a cheaper 5th starter (around 1.5M or so).
I also prefer to have one stud R2 or R3 to lean on instead of 2 or 3 decent guys. I love Arredondo, though Adams would be ok if you can't afford Arredondo.
I know you play with two Metrodomes, but you need to have some more guys that have #s to take advantage of the hitter park that you have. I would only keep two out of these three: Martin, Scutaro, Jeter, and Schumaker. I would tend to say the odd men out are Martin and Scutaro. That being said, I don't really like Skippy in CF either :( .
Look to deal for a better defender out there in CF. Use Martin as trade bait. You need at least two more lefty bats. Right now you only have Fielder and Schumaker. I like to bat at least 4 or 5 lefties, if not more. Take a look at guys like Chris Davis, Jody Gerut, and Stephen Drew.
Good luck!

Unless you get more lefty bats you won't face much lefty pitching and you neuter David Wright. He is a monster against lefties but he won't face enough of them to hit his card. If I went up against that team I would stash one or two cheap 9r righties or reverse lefties and use them often against you. Try to get four lefty bats with one or two switch hitters. You would be well protected then

To answer your question:
[u:cf7bb1130f][b:cf7bb1130f]Lineup vs. RHP[/b:cf7bb1130f][/u:cf7bb1130f]
1. Holliday
2. H. Ramirez
3. Jeter
4. Guerrero
5. Schumaker
6. Fielder
7. Wright
8. Scutaro
9. Martin
[u:cf7bb1130f][b:cf7bb1130f]Lineup vs. LHP[/b:cf7bb1130f][/u:cf7bb1130f]
1. Wright
2. Holliday
3. Martin
4. Guerrero
5. Jeter
6. Christian
7. Scutaro
8. Fielder
9. H. Ramirez
You might be better served with Hanley leading off (vs. LHP) and Wright batting fourth or fifth. These lineup experiments favor the very best OBP leading off, but you have problems here with so many of your players anemic versus lefties.
Versus RHP, you should be okay.
