Do Successful Teams Use Fewer Lineups? (And Should Tony LaRussa?)

Brian Walton wrote an interesting post over at The Cardinal Nation about Tony La Russa’s lineup combinations for the upcoming season. Walton focused on how the defensive versatility of the players in this year’s spring-training camp affords such combinations. We’d like to offer another angle: Are many different lineups correlated to success? That is, is it necessarily a good thing if TLR trots out 100+ different looks again this season?
