Where should Red Sox Mookie Betts bat in the line-up?

Mookie Betts has had a phenomenal start to his career and a great 2016 campaign.

Could his numbers improve with moving him down in the order? It certainly couldn't hurt.

Also, before people say Mookie will get less at bats batting 3rd vs batting 1st, don't bother. Through 110 games the Red Sox 1st spot in the batting order has 524 PA, the 3rd spot 510. So a difference of 14 PA over 110 games. Insignificant.

Here is a list of the 39 MLB with greater than 65 RBI's this season.

Who has had the lowest percentage of AB's compared to AB's with a runner on base? You got it, Mookie Betts.

Ok. So let's look at this another way. Who has the highest RBI percent with runners on base?

Not Mookie but David Ortiz. However, Mookie is 6th of the top 39 RBI men in the league.

Note: HR's are deducted from RBI since you drive in yourself whether there is a runner on or not.
