Also I have downloaded the latest patch and found that all my scouts have disappeared.

How do we scout now? I'm probably being blind but....................

Any ideas on the above anyone?

kq76's stuff is good. I particularly like a high contact guy hitting 5th. The reason is that your cleanup hitter may strikeout a lot, in between hitting home runs, so you keep a high contact guy to pick up men LOB. After that you put your remaining power at 7th

I also like a speed guy, high contact, hitting 8th if no DH or 9th if DH. The DH should bat where he fits in the order.

Stats show that lineups have little influence on total runs, so dont be afraid to experiment.
