Playing at Co St 57 in a mostly pitchers park league . How would you bat these guys ( pre-waivers)

My first concern (although not answering your question) is Hack in CF.....I know you can with him, but.....The 3 range is weak but coupled with the (0) arm and high Error total (yuk) Aaron in CF is much better. I'd consider replacing Hack if there are any decent RFers to select.

There are options to Hack . His D is not great but his stick makes up for it . :D I was going to wait til after waivers and see what options are there then . If none I like and Hack is still here , how would you bat these guys?

How would you bat these guys instead?

I've got it like this :

Chance - Pesky- Speaker - Yaz- Aaron- Gehringer - Battey - Weaver

Gehringer cannot bat that low because most of his OBP comes from walks. I would put him second behind Chance and let Pesky drive in runs.

So put Pesky where Boss? After Aaron ? 6th? and put Gehringer in the 2 spot or 3 ? Gimme more than that Boss. :D

I'm not a big fan of Gehringer or Pesky (good, not great choices) because they each present problems. The only similarities are both are a little too slow for OBP guys (imo), and both hit into alot of dps.

I'd bat Pesky in a rbi spot but whoever hits in front of him will lead the league in intentional walks (a waste of a big rbi bat) and while Pesky will drive some in, he'll also hit into some rally killing dps. :(

Best bet might be put them both at the top and hope for some 2 and 3 run hrs. :)

I'm not really sure but maybe.......

Gehringer
Pesky
Speaker
Aaron
Yaz (put Yaz cleanup in HR parks)
Chance (will keep Aaron pitched too)
Weaver
Battey (both decent rbi bats to bring home Chance)

If you can get Wagner back for Pesky things would be Sweet!!!!

Honus is gone Nev . Pesky is an ok replacement . Has good obp , some speed , ok D and doesn't get hurt. Honus I know puts up the numbers but can miss 25% of the season also .
