Baseball Fans--What is your preferred strategy

Here is my hitting philosophy:

I value speed to bookend the lineups with good baserunners (albeit slower) in the middle

I'd much rather have a guy who can swipe a bag when he gets on and create havoc on the basepaths, than a Reggie Sanders type who is going to crush #4 and #5 pitching during the regular season, and disappear in the playoffs.

I want contact hitters in the 1-2 slots, 6-7 slots so that they can put the ball in play and advance runners in key situations

I'd like to concentrate my power in the 3-4-5 slots, rather than having a lineup chock full of lumbering 25 HR hitters.

I'll sacrifice power in the latter half of the lineup for...

solid defense up the middle of the field---Short, Second, Catcher, and Center Field.

Because of this, I'd also prefer to have groundball style pitchers who throw the "heavy" ball.

I believe in having rookies and young pitchers in the bullpen, as you pay less for them, and they often have much better stuff than veteran retreads.
