This is my current line-up. I know it sucks, any way to make it better?

1. bradley
2. figgins
3. young
4 walker
5 burke
6 rollins
7 castillo
8 snow
9 thomas

with all the w's you need to get your speed up top and your guys with clean extra base hits in the middle.... burke is your best clutch guy with 12 clean xbh so he goes 5... rollins is next best clutch with 9 clean so he goes 6th... castillo has 9 as well....

hate to see thomas ob go so low but.... he clogs up the bases without the power to knock him home...

if you wanted him to lead off i'd go with him drop bradley to 8th and snow to ninth.

Here is an alternative lineup

Young
Figgins
Thomas
Walker
Castillo
Rollins
Bradley
Burke
Snow

You might consider platooning Burke and Snow. There are some cheap LHP killers for C and 1B Phelps and Molina or Olivo come to mind.
