Batting Order (Position in the field)
1. Jacob Gonzalez (SS)
2. Justin Bench (3B)
3. Tim Elko (1B)
4. Kemp Alderman (DH)
5. Calvin Harris (C)
6. Kevin Graham (LF)
7. TJ McCants (2B)
8. Hayden Leatherwood (RF)
9. Banks Tolley (CF)
Everyone in this lineup hits at least .250, has an OBP of at least .291, and has a fielding percentage of at least .946.
McCants gets to move back to the infield (he's an infielder by trade) and we put a veteran outfielder in center (Tolley played two years at MCC).
Chatagnier misses the cut because of his battering average and OBP (.230 and .286, respectively), Dunhurst misses the cut because of his batting average (.222), and Burford misses the cut because of his fielding percentage (.841, which is absolutely awful).
Have Tywone Malone and Ben Van Cleave as your top pinch hitters. Malone has some of the best power on the team, and BVC has a .323 batting average through 30 ABs.
There are weaknesses with this lineup for sure, but I think this batting order/fielding lineup gives us the best chance to win games at the current moment. Pitching is another story.
