Can anyone give me some advice on my line ups for this team please? Currently they are

Vs LHP

Mcdougald
Chapman
Aaron
Alou
Cooper
Hall
Rose
Delancey

Vs RHP

Mcdougald
Delancey
Aaron
Cooper
Alou
Hall
Chapman
Rose

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I habe a few players with disappointing averages and want/need to score more runs.

Can you post a link to your team? That would help as we could see who is in your division.

Sorry, I was supposed to do this first time round.

Well, although McDougald has a high OBP, he is slow enough that he may clock up your basepaths. While chapman doesn't have a lot of gba on his card, remember that ½ of his rolls may come on the pitcher's cards, and depending on the defense of the other team, you may end up with a lot of double plays. Delancy usually hits too well to bat 8th. One good thing about your team is that you have Delancy, Cooper, and Hall to benefit from Yankee Stadium in your division. I am sort of weird in my lineups, but I would bat them this way: LHP/RHP

Chapman/Chapman
Rose/Rose
Aaron/Aaron
Alou/Cooper
Cooper/Alou
Hall/Delancy
Mcdougald/Mcdougal
Delancy/hall

I understand some of your thinking but Rose at #2 worries me. Lots of DP's although his other stats could warrant it. Wouldn't Hall be better as #2 vs LH? I may try your suggestions though.Thanks.
