My Question is with no real lead off type hitter would ypu lead off Speaker with Fox 2nd ? or leave it like it is.

Man, that's tough. Good players but a bad mix IMO. The line-up above with the LHH grouped at the top and the RHH at the bottom, will be real vulnerable to hard lefty and hard righty relievers. Ideally I would look for RHH on the wire with some OBP to put 2nd. With what you have...

against RHP
Speaker
Oglive
Musial
Simmons
Ripkin
Fox
Cey
Gedman

against LHP
Speaker
Cey
Musial
Simmons

But I tend to have different ideas about line-up construction than many others here :wink:
