After 6 games in Fulton I have Younts best card in the 70's game. Also, have 50% chance of Willie Randolphs .427 OBP(he currently has a .522 OBP), along with what looks like a good Buford OBP card, at least vs RHP's(2 Hr's vs RHP's already). Do you bat Yount and his 100 Extra Base hits third and watch Randolph and Buford circle the bases?Or...........................
I also have Bench 72/Hebner 8R and Cecil Cooper has a 1250+ OPS. Would you bat Cooper third(he's as fast as Yount) with Hebner & Bench to follow, which leaves Yount batting sixth and his extra Base hits are now being used to help some slower guys circle the bases? One of Simmons' two best power cards would follow him if he batted sixth.
Is Yount a third or a sixth hitter on that 1980 Card? He probably can score and knock in 100+ runs pretty easily batting third, so does having a lesser OBP even matter?
