CLUES

  2. Dorfman is the second batter before the designated hitter and the second batter after Gondrachev.
  3. Carillo is the third batter before the center fielder and the third batter after Hirohito.
  4. As many batters separate Arnold and the center fielder as separate Izmir and Baker.
  5. The foursome of the designated hitter, the first baseman, the man who bats second, and Fassbinder all travel to the game in the same car with nobody else.
  6. The catcher, the man who bats fifth, and Baker all ride together to the game separately from the second baseman.
  7. The catcher bats as far ahead of the third baseman as the right fielder bats ahead of the left fielder.
  8. The three outfielders do not bat all in a row.
