Sabermetric lineup

[Sloppydog14]

I been researching this a lot lately and playing with my lineup. Just curious to see how everyone else goes about it with the stats that were given.

I always use my best on base guys at lead off. Before Boston promoted Betts, I used Nava as a lead off hitter vs right handers. And i ignore batting average for the most part and use on base % and slugging % to set my line up. Depends on the type of line up I'm trying to build. With Boston, I want walks and power from top to bottom of the lineup. Don't mind low averages or strikeouts until it's on a unacceptable level

But to build mine for me and I usually redo the numbers at the end of every month. The only thing about it is it doesn't take in account left to right splits

Sky Kalkman's write-up on BTBS is pretty helpful.

That's a good read as well. Seems to fal in line with the lineup optimizer I been using.

I use a fusion of old school and new school trains of thought to build my lineups. I also like to split my lineups in half and build two mini-lineups.

For 1-5, I use a new school, sabermetrics driven approach, and it's pretty solid for me.

6-9, I'm a little more flexible, and I'll build both old school and new school type lineups based on what I have available and my mood.

Here are my considerations for each spot, in order of importance:

1 - OBP, Speed, BB/SO ratio
2 - Best Overall Hitter
3 - 3rd Best hitter
4 - 2nd Best hitter, power
5 - Power
6 - OBP, Speed
7 - Average
8 - Average
9 - Flexible (sometimes speed, sometimes average, usually used for defensive specialists or pitchers when in the NL)
