If these changes are made we win the national championship this year.......

1. Austin Nola(BB/K ration is killer, he works the pitcher)
2. Arby Fields(not enough ABs to put at leadoff)
3. Ralph Rhymes(no doubt best hitter on team)
4. Jacoby Jones(just because he is faster than Katz)
5. Mason Katz
6. Ty Ross
7. Grant Dozar(RH pitcher), Jordy Snickeris(LH pitcher)
8. Jared Foster(worst hitter in lineup, great defensive OF) only until Alex Edward is healthy
9. Tyler Hanover(#9 batter is a 2nd leadoff)

Jared Foster is not a great defensive outfielder, dude never played of in his life prior to LSU

You really want Ralph batting third

we need speed at the top Nola doesn't have it.

2. Arby Fields(not enough ABs to put at leadoff)


good spot

quote:

3. Ralph Rhymes(no doubt best hitter on team)


good spot

quote:

4. Jacoby Jones(just because he is faster than Katz)


he isn't a clean up hitter I like him at lead off cause as you said he is fast

quote:

5. Mason Katz


2nd best hitter only spot that works for him is 4th (for power) or 3rd to get on for rhymes

quote:

6. Ty Ross


not a bad spot

quote:

7. Grant Dozar(RH pitcher), Jordy Snickeris(LH pitcher)


can snickeris play first?

quote:

8. Jared Foster(worst hitter in lineup, great defensive OF) only until Alex Edward is healthy


so he should be 9th to help average

quote:

9. Tyler Hanover(#9 batter is a 2nd leadoff)


not true

I would say

1. Fields (he is hitting well and is fast) (CF)
2. Jones (his speed is only why I put him here) (2B)
3. Rhymes (usually you put your hottest batter in this spot) (DH)
4. Katz (our best power hitter) (RF)
5. Nola (raps up the heart of the order nicely) (SS)
6. Hanover (3B)
7. Ty Ross (C)
8. Dozar or Moore (1st)
9. Foster (worst hitter, but 9 hole usually gets the best pitches to hit) (LF)

I trust CPM anyway so I'm sure his lineup will be killer.

FIFY. do not want Dozar in the lineup and Moore has looked really good of late.

I like Katz third bc he sees more good pitches with rhymes behind him. Katz is the power hitter so I would rather him see more good pitches

I'd go with Fields first, and Nola 2nd....after that obviously Rhymes in Katz either 3rd or 4th. Can't understand anyone wanting Jacoby hitting higher than 5th. Dude hasn't been hitting well and is way too aggressive at the plate.

Yeah but to use his speed he needs to get on base!!! So you are telling me Nola is an SEC middle infielder but he doesn't have enough speed to lead off?? Jones is hitting .260 on the year with only like 4BBs(HBP)/27Ks, not a leadoff even though he is fast that's why I put him at the 4 spot because when he hits the ball he hits it hard(lot of extra basehits). I almost put Jones at the 2 spot and put Arby Fields further down but I would give Arby a shot there first.

#4 hitter should be aggressive and take big hacks!

I just feel like Nola is better in the middle of the lineup, I may be wrong about nola's speed it just just doesn't jump out to me.

also I don't think you want to put a .260 BA guy at the 4 spot.

I say only katz or rhymes should hit in the 4 spot

katz for his power, and that he is one of our better hitters.

Rhymes is the best hitter in the SEC if he is anything other then 3 or 4 then he is in the wrong place IMO.
