Hey Guys,
I need your thoughts. I'm in a $100 Mil Std DH 2009 League - Ray Oyler Memorial League. I am 4 & 14 out the shoot Here's my lineups:
Vs RHP: Vs LHP Rotation Bull Pen
1 BJ Upton CF 1. BJ Upton CF 1. Carpenter 1. Duensing MRP
2. Podsednik LF 2. Zobrist LF 2. Wolf 2. Carrasco MRP
3. J. Upton RF 3. J. Upton RF 3. Jurrjens 3. Oliver SU RP
4. A. Gonzalez 4. A. Gonzalez 1B 4. Buehrle 4. Sato SU RP
5. Butler DH 5. Butler DH 5. Arroyo 5. Choate SU RP
6. Zobrist 2B 6. Ibanez LF 6. Bell Closer
7. Longoria 3B 7. Longoria 3B Choate v LHB
8. Suzuki C 8. Barnes 2B
9. Ryan SS 9. Chavez C
Bench is Punto, Uribe, Melky Cabrera. Longoria is in a slump - .234, Zobrist -.250, Ryan- .218, BJ Upton - .243. Suzuki does what he can. Cabrera - .265.
Any suggestions/criticisms are welcomed - Tim Klucinec UC Pirates13

Is upton at the top because of his speed?
I would move zobrist up vs rhp to get him more ab's..let him lead off he has good obp and his power as a leadoff man only matters in the first at bat.

speeds overrated IMO if your giving up outs in front of Gonzalez or playing small ball in front of him.

i would try zobrist longoria gonzalez as the 1 2 3 vs righties..but what do i know?

Toronto,
Yes I put BJ Upton because of speed. I like your idea of Zobrist Longoria and Gonzalez as 1, 2, 3. Zobrist and Longoria are starting to hit. Podsednik and J. Upton are hitting over 300. Thanks for your input, most appreciated.
