Optimizing Lineup by Best wRC+ Hitter at that Spot In The LineupAdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementSo just for fun, let's construct a lineup using the player with the best stats in each position of the lineup, as a starting point. Because Jordan has had a 154 wRC+ batting third this season, so why not give it a try? I'd love to see them try Walker batting 3rd, or batting Burly second sometime, but they just haven't been doing that. Church (L)Fermin (R)Crooks (L)Urias who will someday be back on the team, has a 131 wRC+ batting 7th. Preferred Lineup vs RHP1.
