AI Lineup Creation

As has been noted earlier, with AI Lineup creation, there still exist many opportunities for improvement. I'd like to suggest a methodology that I believe is simple, effective, and easy to implement...

Part 1: Assign the players with the 2 highest Power ratings to the 4th & 5th positions.

Part 2: Assign the (remaining) fastest player to the 1st position.

Part 3: Assign the (remaining) players with the highest batting averages to the 3rd & 2nd positions.

Part 4: Assign the (remaining) players with the 3 worst batting averages to the 8th-6th positions. Thus, your lineup would look something like this...

1. Fastest player
2. 2nd best batting average
3. Best batting average
4. Best Power hitter
5. 2nd best power hitter
6. 3rd worst batting average
7. 2nd worst batting average
8. Worst batting average
9. Pitcher

What do you guys think, and what would you suggest as alternative strategies?
