re: Batting lineup needs tweaking

He sees a lot more fastballs in the 9-hole than he would at lead off.

I never liked this argument.
If a guy can hit, it will be on the scouting report. Where he is in the lineup isn't' going to change how you pitch to him for the most part. who's on base and how many outs has more to do with how you pitch to someone, and who bats after you, and even then, it's not going to change how you pitch to someone that much.
If you know a guy can't hit a curveball, that's what you're going to throw to him regardless of where he bats. It's not like pitchers save curveballs.
