2015 Houston Astros

[realmofotalk]

Lineup
1) Josh Flores CF - the divisional series MVP
2) David Dejesus RF
3) Pedro Alvarez 3b
4) Ryan Howard 1b
5) J.R. Towles C
6) Miguel Tejada SS
7) Matt Cusick 2b
8) Collin DeLome LF

The lineup takes a huge blow with the loss of Berkman. Mitch Einertson's return from a season ending injury may help, but he'll bring nowhere near the production that Berkman brought. Collin DeLome, who had a solid offensive performance during the World Series, will hold Einertson's starting spot for now.

Curious to see the rotation.... Maine, Jennings, Haren, Johnson...??? McManus or Bathmaier? Maybe the return of FAT MATT ALBERS.

Dinelli should break out this year in the CL role... and it could be a big help if McManus performs to ratings should he make the starting-5.

He so has to rock the Judy Garland in the rotation.

The rotation is the first 5 you just named. Barthmaier pitching in Minute Maid Field has bad results written all over it.
