Where To Bat Your Best Hitter - Part V

Same exercise as before.  I am using my baseball simulator to find out what it thinks are the best lineup constructions.  The only twist, is that I am not inputting normal 9 person lineups in to it.  I am for the most part entering two person lineups, with one person taking 8 lineup spots and the other person taking 1.  I then switch roles between the two players with the other batting 8 times.  I am running each game one million times in order to keep the noise down to a minimal level.

In the latest exercise I was asked to run some simulations using players with extreme OBP and SLG% numbers.  So what I did was dig through the past two seasons of stats over at Fangraphs and came up with the following combinations of players that I am going to look at.  There is a lot of data here, so I leave the analysis to the reader for the time being.

They are...
Low OBP/Low SLG: Paul Janish
Low OBP/High SLG: Mark Trumbo
High OBP/Low SLG: Jamey Carroll
High OBP/High SLG: Miguel Cabrera
High OBP/Reasonable SLG: Derek Jeter

From this list here are the combinations I ran.

Janish(8) + Trumbo(1) / Trumbo(8) + Janish(1)
Janish(8) + Cabrera(1) / Cabrera(8) + Janish(1)
Janish(8) + Carroll(1) / Carroll(8) + Janish(1)
Carroll(8) + Trumbo(1) / Trumbo(8) + Carroll(1)
Trumbo(8) + Cabrera(1) / Cabrera(8) + Trumbo(1)
Carroll(8) + Cabrera(1) / Cabrera(8) + Carroll(1)
Jeter(8) + Trumbo(1) / Trumbo(8) + Jeter(1)
Jeter(8) + Cabrera(1) / Cabrera(8) + Jeter(1)

And now for the results...
