If you want a mix old school and new school I think at this point you still end up with Lough at #2 or #1. Can Hosmer steal if Gordon gets out? Yes but not ideal. Can Lough steal if Gordon gets out? Better chance than Hos.
Plus the power is there in Hosmer should Gordon and\or Lough get on. And you have the pitcher throwing to a good bat with 2 good runners on base and no outs...I like that situation a lot more than say Butler at the #3 and Hosmer #2.
