With '70s era teams (think Phillies, Dodgers, Reds, Athletics) my lineup runs like this:
1 — A speed guy with high OBP.
2 — Above average speed and OBP who can hit and run (low strikeout and walk rates).
3, 4, 5 — The four best slugging percentage guys go in these slots and 8. Highest OBP is 3, next 4, then 5.
6 — Second leadoff. A guy with speed and as high an OBP as possible.
7 — Some loser. If he can steal, bunt or hit and run, it's a plus.
8 — Slugging guy with the lowest OBP (think Dave Kingman).
9 — Pitcher (DHs are evil).
