I am loving the Manthattan Liberty's 1-5 here. Looks like a lot of RBI's for Mattingly and Hill. Should be fun to see it play out.

Sweet lineup by career wRC+:
Gardner 104
Vaughan 138
Hamilton (assuming we're talking 1888-1901 Hamilton): 142
Mattingly 124
Hill 110
Keltner 110
Grote 83
LaPorte 108
Schilling 68
I'd probably run out:
Hamilton
Vaughan
Hill
Mattingly
Keltner
LaPorte
Grote
Schilling
Gardner
Gardner/Hamilton at #9 and #1 will create an on base track meet of epic proportions. Throw another on base machine in Vaughan at #2 into the #9, #1, #2 trio, and 1) the opposing pitchers will be going nuts, and 2) your three best power hitters will be coming up immediately following the 9-1-2 hitters. Hill is your best power hitter bar none. Crazy pop. Keltner and Mattingly are pretty similar in terms of pop, but Mattingly's the better hitter. LaPorte played in the dead ball era, so he's much better than you might think when looking at his career slash line, and Grote and Schilling are the only sub-average players in the lineup. That is one crazy good/great lineup. A force to be reckoned with for sure. Probably this is an AI lineup if I read your post right though, and my suggestion won't make much of a difference, but that's how I'd roll them out if I was in charge.
I have one suggestion in terms of your modifiers if you're using 1990 as your base year. Remember to set the BABIP before each season to .287. The game probably has it around .290, but IRL it was .287. I think this BABIP inflation probably heats up the offensive output a bit. At least that's what I've seen over the last five versions or so (it started in 17 I think - OOTP16 was amazing for league stats output).
