DeRo shows love to the former All-Star and his resurgent season!
I miss old lineup construction:
1. Fastest player
2. Bat control guy (he sucks)
3. Best all-around hitter
4. Best power hitter
5. Lumbering power or bust hitter
6. High-OBP guy who leads off now
7. Bad switch hitter
8. Catcher
9. Gold Glove defender (-5 DRS, can't hit)
had a successful* first of four consecutive weekends hosting non-conference tournaments; only had to point to the sign twice, which is a good start.
*we won’t talk about the stat program.
