The lineups will vary to some degree depending on the ball park. At catcher, Davis platoons with Sullivan, with Loller playing if the other team runs particularly well, or if it is a homer park. He also backs up Judge at first. Lopes and Backman platoon at second. Aparicio plays short backed up by Cox. Cox plays against lefties at third, with Mullinicks available to platoon against some righties. In left, Evans platoons with Oglivie, and Blair is in CF, backed up by Henderson. Henderson platoons in right with Rice in homer parks. The rotation will require Nevdullian nimbleness to get the most out of, but I tried to provide a variety of pitchers to optimize their chances depending on their opponent and the park. If all else fails, I can put the starters on quick hook and hope HAL turns it over to the bullpen, which is deep. The team is short on power, and could use one stud ace, but I do believe they can be competitive, so here they are. What, if any changes would you make, keeping in mind the limits with respect to salary, and the fact it has to play in Three Rivers?
