The lineup would be salty....not sure we'd have the arms though. It would still be Oswalt & then pray for 4 days of rain (unless Millwood becomes decent again)

SS - Young
2b - Loretta/Kinsler
DH - Berkman
LF - Lee
1B - Tex
CF - Pence
RF - Sosa
3B - Blalock/Lamb/Loretta
C - Laird

Sadly, I doubt it.

The Rangers pitching staff couldn't contribute much unfortunately.

explain to me whos great on Houstons pitchin staff outside of Oswalt?

Lights on Lidge?

Rangers pen could provide a few arms. Not much in the starting rotation, though. Tejada and McCarthy have some good flashes now and then, though.

Lidge is coming back to form.

We would find a way to blow it.....

If (and that's a big if) everyone was 100% healthy, the rotation would probably be

1 - Oswalt
2/3 - Jennings
2/3 - Millwood
4 - Padilla
5 - Williams

Pen -
Lidge
Wheeler
Qualls
Gagne
McCarthy
Otsuka


Just a guess...they'd be deep...but not REAL good.

That's not a bad lineup, and I'm thinking that Sampson is a better call than, at least, Woody at this point.

However, I would probably flip Berkman and Tex because Berkman is a REALLY good defensive 1st baseman. Admittedly though, I must confess that I haven't watched enough of the Rangers to know how good Tex is with the glove.

wouldnt win it. maybe finish 2nd in the AL west though, possibly first in the NL Central.

Sampson and Wandy have pitched extremely well this year. Much better than Woody.

Tex has won two gold gloves so far. I would say he is the best in Baseball that nobody knows about. When the Yankees sign him he will become the best in history.

Have to agree with that. I absolutely love watching Tex play first.
