Bat Pujols Second
Shameless self share. Lineup optimization by The Book, or at least my attempt at it.

I've half-jokingly suggested that TLR bat Holliday second.
My thinking was that, if we keep Pujols third, behind two high-OBP batters, there is more of a likelihood that Pujols would bat with a runner on first, which is, after all, the ultimate “protection.”
