Hi there. Been in a scoresheet league for a number of years and have done well. We came an out away from making the World Series several times, losing a number of close games in the NLCS.
Across all my time in scoresheet I don't think I have really optimized my lineup.
For anyone who is an expert in lineup construction and willing to help, i'd love to know how you would set lineups versus lefties and righties with the following roster of hitters.
C - D'Arnaud, Ramos, Barnhart
1B - Freeman, Tellez,Garrett Cooper
2B - Altuve, (Chris Taylor)
SS Story
3B Bregman
OF Aaron Judge, Chris Taylor, Manuel Margot, Corey Dickerson, Mike Tauchman, Randall Grichuk
My Lineup against Righties at the moment

Does that seem about right?
Dickerson projects better against righties than Taylor but gives something back on defense. i don't know who is better to start. Same analysis for Margot with any number of bench options. My sense is that his defense is elite enough that he is worth playing. Also, we think he will hit more this year.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts, would love to hear them, and good luck this year!
