    Everett has no business batting 2nd on this roster.

    Jimy Williams is a moron.

    1 - Biggio
    2 - Beltran
    3 - Berkman
    4 - Bagwell
    5 - Kent
    6 - Everett
    7 - Ensberg
    8 - Ausmus

    Score hard and score fast.

    I don't if I'd be calling Jimy a moron when I put Bagwell in front of Kent in the lineup.

    OK, I'll give you guys that Kent is driving in more runs than Bags this year, but history will show you that Bagwell has more power, equal if not better run production and gets walked more than Kent.

    Bagwell's best assets are being wasted in the 6 hole. Kent's number likely wouldn't be affected very much batting 6th.

    RP- Have you been watching the games? Bagwell's swing looks painful.

    I'll be happy the next time I see him knock one into a gap, let alone out of the park.

    Since I live in Austin and don't get many of the games, I honestly haven't seen many games, but the few I have caught, Bags looked decent.

    I'm mainly going on their past performances. Still I think my lineup would score some runs for out pitchers, plus provide alot of protection throughout the lineup.

    I just wanted to add...if the Astros aren't on regular FSN (TW channel 54) always check channel 77 because Time Warner keeps that on stand by in case there's a regional sports conflict: since Austin has no pro sports teams, they try to appease the fans of all the nearby teams that they can. I see probably 70% of Astros games on one channel or the other.

    But, if you have satellite this would be pointless.
