So many different options here... You really can't go wrong (when the season starts you are not going to have all these hitters healthy, so this lineup won't matter)

--division parks are Camden, Rogers, Cell -- WOW!!

vsR
Start with the middle:
3. Beltran
4. Scott
5. Escobar

Top:
1. Guillen
2. Lugo - I love him here with all the power in this lineup

Bottom:
6. Kemp
7. Loney
8. Rolen
9. Ross

vs. L - the only LH SP in your division is games 1-3. (Robertson, Kenny Rogers, possibly Liriano)

1. Scott
2. Lugo
3. Sheffield
4. Escobar
5. Beltran
6. Ross
7. Rolen
8. Loney
9. Guillen

My opinion on the overall team is you could give up some offense to help the pitching and defense.
Is this the team you're asking between Beltran and Hafner? Drop Rolen, Kemp, Loney and go with Hafner/Ramon Martinez?

You have 6 closers and no LH bullpen. With your division your SPs will not last past the 4th inning in alot of games. I'd take a gamble on a good long reliever.

I think you're gonna have to hit a ton to win.

That pitching staff has a lot of BP HR's fot a hitters park, as well as not real setup guy. You need to have some decent middle relief, not just a bunch of specialists. Without they will see way too many innings vs their weak side, and you will not win. Feliciano is a must, Wurtz or Correia could be ok on the opposite side.

You have to get cheaper somewhere. I'm not sure about your team though.

Loney is W vs L, Rolen is good, but a little one sided. Whose playing 2b? Whose leading off?

I've never been good at making no pitching all hitting teams, so it always looks wrong to me :P

but as far as lineup go who the fck would place Lugo at the top? he has barely 30 ob vs L with no real tb's, and vs R 40 ob again with a bare tb's. He has no business ever seeing the top of a lineup.

R:
Guillen - best place for his OBP but not a lot of power
Scott - best #2 man in the set
Beltran - see below
Rolen - good hits, tb's decent power
Escobar - good everything but high dp's
Loney - low obp is why he is here
Kemp - slightly better than Ross
Ross - slightly worse than kemp
Lugo - speed at the bottom as a 2nd leadoff

beltran makes it hard to find a good spot for him. He has ok OBP (44) good tb's and hr's (54/11) good BP hr's but only 18 hits! Everyone else around him has more hits, but after your 2 big OBP guys is probalby the best spot for all those HR's.

vs L your team is much much weaker. I hope you arne't facing to many of them. You have real problem, like Loney would be good, except the W and not 1 ounce of HR, would bat him 2nd, but 33 dp's!! Ross has such little acutal hits (besides hr's) I mean he's best as a #6 hitter like that, but you have no one else to bat higher.

vs L:
Scott - 50 ob, nothing much else
Escobar - easily your best hitter vs L, and 0 dps
Sheff - next best hitter vs L
Loney - taking a gamble that the W won't hurt you here, not a normal spot
Ross - ton's of HR power
Guillen
Beltran
Rolen
Lugo

Loney, with all those 3B's vs. LH's will be fine in the 4 hole.

I've had him hit 30-40 triples whenever I've used him. Granted it's no HR, but it's the next best thing. :lol:
