Marlins Lineup Hypotheses

DSponge just gave his rendition of the Marlins' opening day lineup (a hypothesis just as stirring as it was accurate). In the interest of fun, I'm going to put together a hypothesis of my own...four actually (making them hypotheses).

Hypothesis #1: The current team's optimal hitting lineup (in my opinion, of course):

1. Hanley Ramirez, SS
2. Dan Uggla, 2B
3. Jeremy Hermida, RF
4. Josh Willingham, CF
5. Mike Jacobs, 1B
6. Cody Ross, CF
7. Dallas McPherson, 3B
8. Matt Treanor, C
9. Scott Olsen, P

Hypothesis #2: The current team's optimal fielding display (no small matter, considering this figures to be the worst fielding team in MLB)

C - Matt Treanor
1B - Mike Jacobs
2B - Alfredo Amezaga
SS - Alfredo Amezaga
3B - Alfredo Amezaga
LF - Alfredo Amezaga
CF - Alfredo Amezaga
RF - Jeremy Hermida

Is anyone sensing a pattern here? It's a sad state of affairs when one guy is the best at five positions, and he can't even hit.

Hypothesis #3: The current team's potential lineup if they had budgeted themselves like the Yankees or Red Sox:

1. Juan Pierre, CF
2. Hanley Ramirez, SS
3. Miguel Cabrera, LF
4. Derrek Lee, 1B
5. Jeremy Hermida, RF
6. Mike Lowell, 3B
7. Dan Uggla, 2B
8. Pudge Rodriguez, C
9. Dontrelle Willis, P

That is one scary lineup!

Hypothesis #4: For a little extra fun, here's my opinion on the all-time greatest Marlins lineup (no repetitions):

1. Luis Castillo, 2B (2000) - .334/.418/.388, 62SB, 101R
2. Hanley Ramirez, SS (2007) - .332/.386/.562, 51SB, 125R, 29HR
3. Gary Sheffield, RF (1996) - .314/.465/.624, 42HR, 118R, 120RBI, 142BB
4. Miguel Cabrera, 3B (2006) - .339/.430/.568, 26HR, 50 doubles, 112R, 114RBI
5. Cliff Floyd, LF (2001) - .317/.390/.578, 31HR, 123R, 103RBI
6. Jeff Conine, 1B (1995) - .302/.379/.520, 25HR, 105RBI
7. Pudge Rodriguez, C (2003) - .297/.369/.474, 16HR, 90R
8. Juan Pierre, CF (2003) - .305/.361/.373, 65SB, 100R
9. Dontrelle Willis, P (2007) - .286/.348/.508, 3 triples, 2HR

Toughest call was at 1B, between Jeff Conine's 1995 season, Derrek Lee's 2003 season, and Kevin Millar's vastly underrated 2001 campaign. Also, as tempted as I was to pick one of Preston Wilson's 1999/2000 seasons for CF, I couldn't ignore the plethora of strikeouts and Pierre's role in winning the 2003 World Series.
