[One Post Wonder]

I think I differ from most people I think in how I use the 3, 5, and 8 position (if playing as an NL team).

1. Highest obp with average speed at least to avoid the DP.
2. High obp - preferably most of his obp is with hits and he has some doubles.
3. Free swinging power hitter. I figure you can put a free swinger here since people won't pitch around him with the cleanup man coming up. The standard lineup bats this guy 5th.
4. Cleanup guy.
5. Multidimensional hitter with power. The guy most people would bat 3rd with a good obp. This is because the #5 hitter often leads off the 2nd inning.
6,7. Whatever is left over after the others.
8. A hitter who can draw a walk. He doesn't have to be good other than that. With the pitcher coming up, people might be tempted to pitch around him and I'm fine with my weak hitter getting walked. I'll swap the 6th, 7th guy to get a player who will walk here.
