Mickey Cochrane: Best spot in the order?

[tkl33]

I think I've only used him once. Hell, too many teams I can't remember. :) Anyways, this is the lineup I'm thinking about. Can he hit cleanup vs righties?

Lineup vs. LHP

1. Chance, Frank (R) 1B
2. McCosky, Barney (L) LF
3. Wagner, Honus (R) SS
4. Furillo, Carl (R) RF
5. Alou, Felipe (R) CF
6. Cochrane, Mickey (L) C
7. Steinfeldt, Harry (R) 3B
8. Fox, Nellie (L) 2B
9. Pitcher P

Lineup vs. RHP

1. Chance, Frank (R) 1B
2. McCosky, Barney (L) LF
3. Wagner, Honus (R) SS
4. Cochrane, Mickey (L) C
5. Furillo, Carl (R) RF
6. Fox, Nellie (L) 2B
7. Alou, Felipe (R) CF
8. Steinfeldt, Harry (R) 3B
9. Pitcher P

I try to get him on nuetral teams I am playing every time. I have had him in the #2 hole before and he was very effective but he is ALWAYS effective. I have had him hit in the #6 hole as well. I don't see him as a cleanup hitter myself.

I've used Cochrane a lot in both ATG and ATG II. 6th seems to suit him well.

If I had this team (a good one, btw) here's how I'd bat them:

Not always, Dean. This was in Sportsmans 46; not worth his salary here:

588 60 33 5 58 68 0 16 .264 .376 .337 E 5.45M

I hear ya Randy. I have actually had him more in Westside than Sportsman but I would use the guy in any nuetral or small park.

I'll take him in Forbes or Griffith every time.

Don't get me wrong; I use him a lot...but anyone can have a clunker season now & again.

I found a good Cochren season which was my first championship in Westside.

Adrian...WOW!!! What a season 125 ribbies. :shock: I was glad to see Derringer have a nice season also. I'm using him for the 1st on this team also. I like your lineup suggestion. I use McCosky alot at 1 or 2. Never tried him at 3. He justs hits and hits and hits....
