If they asked me…

“T.R. you’re not in charge.”

Those were the words of Jason Jennings today. But if I was…

Rotation: Kevin Millwood, Vicente Padilla, Kris Benson, Matt Harrison, Brandon McCarthy

Comment: You have to commit to McCarthy and Benson

Bullpen: Frank Francisco, C.J. Wilson, Eddie Guardado, Warner Madrigal, Josh Rupe, Jason Jennings, Scott Feldman.

Comment: Yes, Feldman may deserve to start but this is his best role on a championship team, Jennings and Wilson look great.

Catcher: Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Adam Melhuse.

Comment: What? Yes, I think Taylor Teagarden could use a month or two in Triple A. No more than that but he could use it. He is definitely going to be good. No, it ain’t going to happen though.

Infield: Michael Young, Elvis Andrus, Ian Kinsler, Chris Davis, Omar Vizquel

Comment: Love Joaquin Arias. If only his arm was still there.

Outfield: Marlon Byrd, David Murphy, Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton, Brandon Boggs.

Comment: Yes Boggs. He offers more of what the Rangers need in a fifth outfielder. Told it ain’t going to happen.

Designated hitter: Hank Blalock

Comment: Byrd available versus left-handers. No on Jones. Free Frank Catalanotto.

Disabled list: Willie Eyre, Dustin Nippert

Comment: No need to push either. Ask Derrick Turnbow to go to Triple A.

Take off the 40: Luis Mendoza.

Comment: Travis Metcalf is needed in case something happens to Michael Young. Doug Melvin said you need a contingency plan at every position. Mendoza is expendable.
