State your preferred batting lineup here

[TM3]

If you're Scioscia, how would you have the lineup on most days?  Here is mine:

1. Simmons

2. Kinsler

3. Trout

4. Upton

5. Pujols

6. Ohtani

7. Cozart

8. Calhoun

9. Maldonado

Out of respect, I have Pujols ahead of Ohtani but this can change by mid-season if Ohtani's numbers are significantly better.

[HALOS23]

 

1. Kinsler 2. Cozart 3. Trout. 4. Upton 5 Ohtani 6. Pujols 7. Simmons 8. Calhoun 9. Maldo

Cozart's numbers last year batting 2nd in front of Votto are really good. I'd like to see them do this soon. 

[Stradling]

According to AngelsWin this is the line up we should use:

1. Cozart

2. Simmons

3. Trout

4. 

5.

6.

7.

8.Ohtani

9.

Benchth- Upton, Kole, Maldonado, Kinsler, Valbuena, Albert, Young

[fan_since79]

Cozart, Trout, Upton, Pujols, Ohtani, Simmons, Blash, Kinsler, Rivera.

Yeah, shocker...Pujols hitting cleanup. It seems to be working with him batting before Ohtani.

[Stradling]

Here is my line up until the end of May:

1. Kinsler

2. Trout

3. Simmons

4. Upton

5. Ohtani

6. Albert

7. Cozart

8. Kole

9. Maldonado

 

If Kinsler doesn’t start to put it together in the next few weeks then move him down in the line up.  

[tdawg87]

Simmons, Trout, Upton, Pujols, Ohtani, Blash, Rivera, Kinsler, Cozart

Calhoun batting 12th.

[moccasin]

Trout, Simmons and Ohtani should hit next to each other 1-3. They are our most consistent hitters by far.

Followed by Upton and Pujols, then maybe Valbuena.

[Stradling]

@IheartLA tell me I’m wrong....We really do hate all of those guys on here and have very short leashes for all of them as fans.  

[GrittyVeterans]

Simmons needs to be moved up to leadoff. Other than that, the current lineup is pretty good

The lineup we want?

3B Cozart, Trout CF, Ohtani DH, Upton LF, SS Simmons, 1B Valbuena, 2B Kinsler, RF Calhoun (shrug), C Maldonado

If Calhoun continues to be awful, then put Blash in for him instead.

[wda258]

[Stradling]

There is no way I would prefer Valbuena or Carter over Albert.  

[Rico]

1. Simmons, 2. Trout, 3. Upton, 4. Ohtani, 5. Pujols, 6. Marte (RF), 7. Cozart, 8. Maldonado, 9. Kinsler

[Stradling]

If people can’t handle Upton in LF they will absolutely despise Marte pretending to play RF.

We can just put Trout in right-center o he can catch everything in sight.

Marte can play shallow RF on the line 

[Stradling]

Surprised no one picked today's line up as their preferred line up.  

[Blarg]

No one is on LSD today.

I just think it would be good to get Marte more at bats while he's still hot.  Maybe at 3rd with Cozart moving to second?

Admittedly this is my favorite lineup of all.

Dude's OPS'ing 1.150.  Freakin crazy man.  What a pleasure it is to watch this guy play.
