		<description><![CDATA[I think your #s are off. First of all, ZIPS is a better projection system, and second of all, you aren&#039;t accounting for things like Saunders wouldn&#039;t be leading off vs LHP, so if you use his #s vs RHP, just making that switch bumps up the lineup production significantly. A quick check saw it go up by 4.5-5 runs, which is a big change for a lineup to be honest. And as you pointed out, the #1 hitter comes up in a lot of high leverage spots, not situations you really want Pillar in. 

Giving 120-144 extra ABs to Martin &amp; Saunders and taking them away from Pillar can only be a good thing in the long run.]]></description>
