I couldn't possibly agree with you more strongly on this topic. Batting order is a horse**** topic, I am always mystified when people yell at the manager about batting order.
The only thing that matters is getting your best hitters the most at bats. OK, I'll admit that maybe its best to have a high-OBP guy at #1, but aside from that, I want to see Gordon and Butler in the 1st inning every day.
