My idea was to get BR on. then lots of ways for them to advance and even score (PB, WP, FC, errors, sac fly, sac bunt). but if no one is on base, that easy pop up to CF can do nothing, that would be WP/PB is not even noticed in the score book, no reason for most batters to bunt, etc.
not saying put your best hitter down deep in the order. best combination of OBP and speed would still be first, then one of top hitters by average, then hitter with most power (provided they make a decent amount of contact, even if they hit a lot of deep fly balls that get caught). then you apply the same criteria to whomever you have left. rinse and repeat.
Also, I say this all the time and stick to it, big innings normally start in the bottom of the order.
