At the Old Ball Game

Less than two weeks from opening day I need to start thinking about a line up and positioning strategies.  A-minor is an instructional league so a good balance of equal playing time and fielding a competitive team is essential.  As with any team we have a range of skills and experience.  As the season develops I have some data and experiential information to help shape a game plan but these early games can be the hardest to be good and to be fair.  I have systems in place to ensure equity in playing time but I don’t have a formula yet for being good.
