Hard to go wrong. I think his SLG will remain the same or improve so my opinion would be 3-6 in the line-up having never seen your team. He should have been a short stop imho but will be a great 3rd baseman too. Good luck.

He is still a very good 3B. Its traditional to put speedy guys up front, but its not like it hurts to have them elsewhere. With his SLG I'd keep him in the heart of the order.

You could put him anywhere in your lineup and he'd still produce, but as he's clearly one of your best hitters (and best player) I'd put him in the 3 hole - you want your best hitters to bring other guys in when they get on base. He'll still get his SB, and if you put Hayes behind him to bat clean-up you have a really nice combo. @Jason - That's a nice guy to have at #3. Lack of walks don't matter when he's so productive everywhere else.
