Hi, newish user here.

I want to make an app that finds a simple, optimized, fantasy baseball 
lineup.

Each player has a cost associated with them, as well as the average points 
per game they score, and position. For example: Mike Napoli, 4600, 2.9, 1B

You have to choose one of each position: catcher, pitcher, 1st base, 2nd 
base, 3rd base, and shortstop. You also have to pick three outfielders. It 
would be easy to just pick the players with the highest points per game, 
but you also need to stay under a specified total cost.

Currently, I iterate through every possibility, and swap an atom with a new 
lineup if the total average points is higher, while staying under the total 
cost limit.

My issues are:

1) This seems like an inelegant solution (brute force)
2) I don't know how to best handle the fact that I need to select three 
outfielders from a single list, and cannot select one player more than once

Any advice, suggestions would be great. Thanks!
