On pace for about 24 HRs, 24 doubles, and 89 RBIs     

If he was hitting 5th/6th, I'm good with that through 2019.

Who’s on pace for more that are hitting 5th or 6th?

As far as OPS goes, Kinsler's is now not far below Pujols', and he's best suited to lead off.

Once Simba returns, Simba, Trout, and Upton ALL have a significantly higher OPS; and thus Pujols should be hitting 5th.    If Ohtani can hit starting in July, then Pujols should be hitting 6th when Ohtani is in the lineup.    Loyalty is fine when the numbers aren't that much different.   But Simba, Trout, Upton, and Ohtani ALL have a much higher OPS.

I was referring to what you had posted before, the home runs and rbi, the two things you stated as a reason he should be hitting 5th or 6th.  I think Simmons lengthens the line up, but I have no idea if that is actually a tangible thing or not.

It's a great discussion topic.

that will probably devolve into a Scioscia apologist thread.
