Mike Carp, is actually the leader in the clubhouse right nwo to bat clean up! Think about it. Eric Wedge spent all year last year search for a clean up hitter (seems like eveyone he put there swooned under the lineup position glare). Hitter after hitter spit the clean up position bit, that is until Mike Carp steped in!
So if I was Eric Wedge, all offseason I have had Carp penciled in as my #4 guy. Also in terms of the Left righty arguements I would say that both Ackley and Ichiro can be viewed as essentially switch hitters, not because they actually switch of course, but because they are just that good of hitters. Neither has much of a platoon dip and both have the HIT skill dialled to 11 :)
So that gives us:
#1 Figgens -- SW
#2 Ackley -- SW :)
#3 Ichiro -- SW :)
#4 Carp -- LH
#5 Smoak -- SW
#6 Jesus -- RH
#7 Guti -- RH
#8 Ryan -- RH
#9 Wells -- RH
