Someone brought up the concept of rating them all 1-4 and not putting a 1 next to a 4 (i.e. 1,2,2,3,3,4,3,2,2). I like that idea, but as it relates to speed, nothing burns worse than to get a slow kid on base in front of a quick kid and to not be able to advance, that's why in a 9 person lineup if I have a speedy leadoff i try to put at least a reasonable quick hitter at 8 and 9 so that they don't clog up the bases on subsequent times through the order..
