Title: R.I.P Davey Lopes

Great Dodger infielder, but more remembered in RBI Baseball community for being in the bench in the Houston team, when he had to be a starter.

My man! The question I have is: where should he be in the Houston lineup? (I like to keep Hatcher in)

I always put Lopes in at the leadoff spot for Hatcher.

I find Hatcher to be the worst player on Houston, but man looking at their page now:

You can make a case for Walling being the worst given his 750 power over 759, plus Hatcher is way faster. I honestly wouldn't have guessed that Walling was the worst power on the team.

That said I always prefer lefties for that lefty hit, but maybe that isn't as useful or reliable in curve.

It's been a long while. Also surprised with Walling being total and complete ass.
