How would you hit some top hitters 1-5

I went with a typical Baker Bowl team in a league full of vets. My unbalanced team will probably not do too well, but if you had these top 5 guys, how would you bat them?

Wagner
Horsnby
Mays
Rickey
Aaron

Fillers of Cash, Boyer, and Parrish....

I believe that you can win anywhere with any lineup, and I would start with this:


Rickey
Wagner
Horsnby
Mays
Aaron


vs. R
Cash
Boyer
Parrish


vs. L
Cash
Parrish
Boyer


I don't have much use for Parrish anymore. Can you swap Henderson for Keller or Selkirk? I'd love to see a lefty in there. Henderson was the early darling of ATG II, but he's lacked press lately, and seems consistently available. I avoid him like the plague after my experiences. He's good, no doubt, but for 10m, it seems you can get equal production from guys like Keller or Selkirk.

Anyway, if it were me, I'd not hesitate to swap Henderson for a lesser LF and a better CA.

I had Keller but I swapped him and Fryman for Aaron and Eastwick. LF is pretty bare, with the top 2 left handed bats being McCovey and Covington. I do not like having Parrish either. I have yet to have Rickey but I wanted to give him a shot. I pretty much created this team with the thought of using him.

Thanks for the post.
