WWE Current needs more "light-hearted" threads. So here I go.
Leadoff: Rey Mysterio, SS. No power whatsoever, but faster than most of the line-up and robs batters of base hits almost effortlessly. Usually hits around a .310 average with a good OBP, and can get up to 50/60 steals.
2: CM Punk, RF. The "five-tool" guy on the line-up. Not as much power as the rest of the line-up, but almost always makes contact, makes crucial game-saving plays in the outfield, and knows how to score runs. He's the most logical contender to the batting title, averaging around the .330 (.340?) mark.
3: Undertaker, DH. The team captain. Steady average around the .290s, excellent power and a high slugging average just nipping at .600. Injuries have slowed him down recently, but can still get around the basepaths alright.
4: John Cena, C. Despite a .280 average overall, likely to hit .350 with two outs and runners in scoring position, with great power. He can block the plate well, but his throwing arm's pretty inaccurate, making that Gold Glove he won last year a fiercely-debated topic.
5: Batista, 1B. The epitome of "feast-or-famine". Bats around .230, swings at everything and disdains walking. However, when he connects, he connects big-time, and he's not afraid to brag about it.
6: MVP, CF. Still coming into his own as a hitter with good results, hitting around the .295 mark with a good eye. However, it's his defense that gives him his reputation, getting on Baseball Tonight 's Web Gems every night. His dancing taunt after every play earns him accusations of excessive hotdogging, though.
7: Randy Orton, 3B. A long reach allows him to handle the hot corner without too much trouble. He has a great deal of infamy for long at-bats, giving him a high OBP in the process but trying the crowd's patience. As of recently, he has been trying to curb the number of ejections he's earned over time.
8: Jeff Hardy, 2B. His average is on the rise and he's starting to become a complete baseball player with a .305 average and 89 RBIs last year, proving that he's more than just the occasional flashy play. Number of errors has fallen dramatically, which has caused field manager Ric Flair to put him in the lineup more.
9: Chris Jericho, LF. His return to baseball has gone along smoothly, and he's quickly become an asset to the team despite a widely publicized clubhouse scuffle with #3 starting pitcher John Bradshaw Layfield. His clutch play and speed on the basepaths make him a keystone.
Triple H, SP. The "King of Kings" earns his nickname with an overpowering fastball and brutal slider that's made him the long-time ace of the staff, and the perennial favorite of manager Ric Flair- as well as GM Vince McMahon.
Edge, SP. Not as much pitching power as HHH, but makes up for it by painting corners and attempting to outwit batters with a nasty split-finger, earning him a 2.94 ERA and 9 shutouts last year.
JBL, SP. Can break the gun with 102 MPH heaters, but his stamina's always somehow been in question, with the 28 home runs he gave up the year before his premature retirement often cited as evidence.
Carlito, SP. The southpaw's been trying to prove his dedication to the front office, working hard to solidify his knuckleballing skills and make up for the trade demands he made last year. He still continues to get speculation of doctoring the ball with juice from his apple, though.
Closer: Shawn Michaels, RP. Still the "showstopper" with 44 saves and a 1.93 ERA last season despite nagging back problems.
