    You're gonna lead off with 2 30+ HR guys? Makes no sense.

    Springer has great OBP, better than Altuve, plus has speed. Correa takes pitches, allows Springer to run.
    Blue Jays use best hitter in the second spot, Donaldson, we can do the same with Correa.

    Plus, Altuve will give the young guy protection hitting behind.

    I am probably on your ignore list, but do you realize that Morneau, again, missed quite a bit of this season for neck and concussion problems? This has happened to him in 2010 and 2011 as well.

    I like that Morneau and his 3 HRs (in Coors Field, no less!) is our proposed left-handed power.

    Personally, I'd rather take a crack at Chris Davis. But then he'd be blocking AJ Reed.

    Thank God no Rasmus today. Tired of watching his overrated defense and weak hacks.

    So is Prince Fielder...but he sure is more clutch than anything on our roster.

    Right, i am looking at Morneau as a 1 maybe 2 year guy.

    By the way, today's lineup i like. I would change the top 3,but, it wont happen.

    Also, i would have used K today instead of McHugh.

    One out away from the inevitable two-out rally for at least a run in the 1st.

    ugh. Constantly playing catchup vs the Rangers. We're always behind early.

    This team has officially turned into a joke. Say what you want about how they played the rest of the year, this choke job is going to overshadow it for the entire offseason.
