What's the lineup for now?

[Shady]

Donovan, Herrera, Burleson, Contreras, Arenado first five against both RHP and LHP. Why not?

If you want 5 really slow dudes at top of order

Speed is nice. But I want hitters, first priority. Is there any argument that Donovan, Herrera, Burleson and Contreras are the top four hitters on the Cardinals team, right now? I want them to have the best chance at five ABs in the game.

Helpful stats. Thanks. So what's your lineup? Right now, I'd be OK with Gorman 5 and Arenado 6.

Winn, Scott and Noot have stunk it up lately

For the next few games...
.276 .368 .382 .749 Donovan 2B
.333 .371 .455 .826 Walker RF
.319 .385 .596 .980 Gorman DH
.256 .344 .439 .783 Contreras 1B
.338 .373 .455 .828 Burleson LF
.250 .333 .370 .703 Herrera C
.236 .266 .404 .670 Arenado 3B
.167 .253 .238 .491 Nootbar CF
.255 .287 .333 .620 Winn SS

Pages at C sometimes;
Scott in CF sometimes; Nootbar to bench, RF, or LF.

Change it as people get hot/cold. I don't mind mixing up the lineup regularly. Other than the 1st inning, it means nothing to the hitters.

Other than giving the early hitters in the lineup a better chance at an extra AB.

Actually, lineups mean a lot in close games if plate appearances are not maximized for the best hitters.
