Isn't Yano off the roster with an injury right now? Doesn't seem like a current ideal line-up. 
Not a bad lineup otherwise though. I might even move Kanoh up to #5 and move Sheets down to #7.

I can't say I disagree much, although Imaoka could be a little slow for #2. I always like to have two rabbits at the top of the lineup. Two lefties at #2 and #3 is really no problem; if Toritani were at #2 (my second choice) you'd still have two lefties together somewhere there. Kanoh looks OK at #7, but I might place Sekimoto before Yano, though.

I moved Imaoka up because he's hitting for good average this year, but has been awful in clutch situations. So, let him move up and start rallies instead of trying to finish them off. It's a little awkward with 2 lefties at 3 and 4, but Lin's the best hitter now, so he needs to be up that high. Toritani doesn't have enough power for #6, but I think #2 is too high. Finally, I'm going with platooning Yano and Kannoh. Yano isn't hitting well this year, but Kannoh isn't ready defensively. So, it's a tough call.I'm ready for your opinion!
