i agree with the all or nothing idea a .240 35-40 hr guy is good for #5 better avg is great if it can found as well

ive found that if one spot in a lineup is suited for high CN guys its the #2 hole. with a speedy lead off guy who is usually on base ahead of him, putting the ball in play and not striking out are keys to being a productive #2. with the high CN and at least average BA is also required(the higher BA the better obviously), we don't want GDP's all day. high CN and high BA out of the #2 allow him to move our leadoff over and avoid an easy K which makes it easier for the big bats behind to do some damage. also slugging is not a necessity here
