You know you are ready for the season when their is pages on how they should setup the lineup with stats to support their points!
Honestly at the end of the day both points of view works, but like @Derek said, Francona doesn't always go with the analytical best approach, he just goes with his own system at the end of the day.
@Derek is your lineup simulator take into account pitching hands? Since someone like Luplow and Naquins career stats could effect things in a sense. Also I wonder how this lineup would do:
Lindor
Hernandez
Ramirez
C. Santana
Reyes
Naquin
Mercado
Perez
Bauers
I have a hunch Francona is going to go that way against RH hitters. While Luplow and D. Santana get in the lineup against LH.
