I'd want to know F1 and F2 at least (CR and restrictions on F1). Other than that, I don't care.

Bob you might not care but I bet the opposing coach would care.

FED rule 1-1-2

A player is designated in the scorebook by name, shirt number and fielding position. A diagram shows the arrangement of fielders.

A coach cannot give a line-up card that shows all players except F1 playing one position.

The line-up card has to list each starting player by number and their fielding position. I do not know of any opposing coach who would except a line-up card as described above except during a scrimmage game.

Part of coaching is knowing whose playing. Does F7/F8/F9 have a gun? Knowing your opponent is key to baseball.
