Got a question for you folks out there. I have some interesting choices to make as far as setting my lineup for the post-season.

www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx Andres Johnson
www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx Vinny Edwards
www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx Douglas Griffin
www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx Edwin Clemens
www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx Bob Glass

And I need to put 4 of these 5 guys in LF, CF, 3B, and 2B. 1B, C and RF are solid, and there's no DH unless I make the WS.

Johnson and Edwards are obviously playing, no question. I can go Johnson at 3B, Glass at 2B, Griffin at LF, and Edwards at CF for my best batting, worst fielding lineup. I can go Johnson at LF, Glass at 3B, Clemens at CF, and Edwards at 2B, for a strong fielding lineup, although Griffin is a much better bat than Clemens, especially against lefties. I also could play Johnson at 3B, Edwards at 2B, Griffin in LF, and Clemens at CF, and leave Glass as the odd man out.

Thoughts?

If you don't link them, no one will look at them.

Yeah fucked links up at first, but they should be good now.

I'd take a look at the pitching matchup first.

Assuming you want to maximize your D, decide whether you'll need the extra bat or glove.  Also, whether you're facing a lefty or a righty looks like it might make a difference.

I'd be inclined to go with...

2B - Edwards
3B - Glass
LF - Johnson
CF - Clemens

...or flip-flop Glass/Johnson depending on whether you want range or glove at 3B/LF.  It sorta depends on your SP, I guess.

IMO, the defensive lineup for sure, regardless of platoon.  I disagree that Griffin is a better bat than Clemens; I think the bat difference is quite small compared to the defensive difference.

Why isn't the "profanity filter" catching this?

It's fucked up?
