Where To Bat Your Best Hitter - Part IV


Next up in my lineup construction exercise, I am going to look at two things.  The first, will be a team with eight Albert Pujols' and one pitcher.  The pitcher will be moved from the first spot in the lineup through each spot, all the way down to the last spot in the lineup.  The second, will be a team with one Albert Pujols and eight pitchers.  Once again, we are not worrying about defense, only about offense and how many games are won.  Everything else is kept constant.

Let's take a look at the results...
