McGwire had a career .394 OBP, .982 OPS, and the best AB/HR ratio in MLB history. How you gonna bat him 8th like that?

@notgaetti Gwynn had a career .388 OBP and only .364 in 1998 and a lower slugging than everyone but Biggio. I understand putting him near the top of most lineups, but not THIS lineup.
@BravesStats @notgaetti I want him on first to open up the home for bonds. For when we have to play small ball
@Yankeeman2018 @notgaetti That’s why I want Chipper, Frank, then Bonds at the top. MUCH higher OBP. If I want small ball from the bottom of the lineup, that’s where Gwynn and Biggio should be. The other seven guys are long-ball guys.
@BravesStats @notgaetti Fair. Im thinking also at how lineups were constructed then too. A guy like big hurt or Judge batting 2 would have been blasphemy then! You probably can’t lose with this squad though
