But I like guys who can do the little things in the two spot - get on, swipe a base, sacrifice if need be, etc.
I must have the old school mentality but I like guys at the one and two spot who set the table for the middle of the line up.

Lineups are generally overrated, but what you definitively need is your best three hitters getting the most ABs. That's it.
In many ways, Butler would make for a good choice in the #2 hole. Now, old-school guys will say, "Whoa! Clogs the bases!" I say, "Don't care. Gets on base. Has legit slug."
Myers is a better athlete and would--we hope--fill the role perfectly.
