Where to bat Ted Williams?

Playing in the Baker Bowl with this hitters team..... [url]http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/atg2/team/team_other.html?user_id=113436[/url]
(Yes, I'll downsize one hitter and picking up better relievers in the waiver frenzy.)

Should I bat Ted third, second or even leadoff? He's slow, a 10 runner, but the otherworldy OBP.....So far, my anticipated lineup:

1. E. Mathews
2. Trammell
3. T. Williams
4. J. DiMaggio
5. Al Simmons
6. Cepeda
7. Berra
8. Gordon

Suggestions?

I built the above team and led off Ted WIlliams every game of the year. It confirmed my belief that Ted Williams is the best leadoff hitter in the game despite his lack of speed and particulary with power teams. In the 3 hole all those walks are easily wasted.

Ted Williams
Trammell
J Dimaggio
Al Simmons
Eddie Mathews
Orlando Cepada
Gordon
A different catcher Milt May?

Hack -- Your original lineup is exactly how I would bat your team.

Petrosian, I know you're in the same division! :wink:

Good luck. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Yeah but I didn't when I posted. Otherwise I would have kept silent.

I'm not gonna be competitive in that league, one of the worst drafts I ever had. So I don't mind if you win it.

We anarchists need to stick together.
