y recommendation to Pete: Lynch as leadoff. .372 avg. 400+ OBA. 16 doubles... out of 55 hits. She hits a double 29% of the time. Then McMillan might come up with a greater chance of having a baserunner on 2nd! McMillan comes up after Martin (.246), Rohs (.240) or Blackwll (.258) that will often mean coming up with no one on base or potentially 2 outs already. The idea of McMillan batting 1st is to give her more opportunities, but the opportunities are not generating more production. Can you imagine a player hitting 27 HRs and only having 57 RBI? She has 67 hits...So the ratio is almost an RBI per hit, which seems nice.... but 27 of those RBIS were her scoring herself. She has 30 other RBIs across 27 HRs and 67 total hits. A player hitting over .400 with 67 hits has only scored 30 other runners t would be interesting to see how many players were LOB by McMillan or how many times she came up with runners on base. So I would argue that D'Amour has not gotten the most production out of McMillan by not putting her in a situation to have more people on when she comes up.
