Lineups should have the best hitters closest to the top of the order. On that basis, here's mine....

1. Brad Hawpe (OBP superior to the "speed" guys)
2. Todd Helton (doubles power to score even the slower Hawpe at Coors)
3. Garrett Atkins (the purest young hitter we have)
4. Matt Holliday (the best power on an underpowered team)
5. Chris Iannetta (best OBP potential after top 4)
6. Troy Tulowitski (enough pop potential for this spot - .265/.330/.440?)
7. Kaz Matsui (depsite his good audition, not a good MLB hitter)
8. Willie Taveraz (in the "Matsui" class of hitters with even less pop)
9. Pitcher

BTW, I believe Hurdle must have been near the top of the league again in the number of different lineups used in 2006 (not counting the pitcher, of course).
