Well, one that could beat the Nationals, anyway: <strong>Lineup</strong> 2b - Robinson Canó SS - Bobby Crosby RF - Nick Swisher LF - Chris Duncan CF - Gary Matthews, Jr. 1b - Adam LaRoche DH - Daryle Ward rC - Jason Kendall 3b - Andy LaRoche <strong>Bench</strong> IF - Scott Spiezio 2b - Josh Barfield 3b - David Bell OF - José Cruz, Jr. bC - Sandy Alomar, Jr. The rotation and bullpen are both severely undermanned and underwhelming, though: <strong>Rotation</strong> SP - Tony Armas, Jr SP - Brian Bannister SP - Jaret Wright SP - Darren Oliver <strong>Bullpen</strong> RP - Justin Speier Terry Francona (son of Tito) is the manager, naturally.

RF - Nick Swisher
LF - Chris Duncan
CF - Gary Matthews, Jr.

rC - Jason Kendall
3b - Andy LaRoche

Bench

IF - Scott Spiezio
2b - Josh Barfield
3b - David Bell

The rotation and bullpen are both severely undermanned and underwhelming, though:

Rotation

SP - Darren Oliver

Bullpen

RP - Justin Speier

Terry Francona (son of Tito) is the manager, naturally.

Looks like your relievers photos and captions are shuffled, though (Shouse/Turnbow). Wonder why the Brewhas didn't benefit from the nice lighting that other '07 mugshots seem to have? I carpooled for many years with a Shouse; believe they might be distant cousins. Always loved the '05 Turnbow; what I pictured he'd look like in the headlights of an oncoming car. He needs to get together with fellow longfaces Jay Gibbons and John Buck for a family photo. Nice as always, Mak. Looks like your relievers photos and captions are shuffled, though (Shouse/Turnbow).

You could also add Tony Pena Jr. if you are avoiding the HOFers. Jerry Hairston Jr and his brother Scott had a father (Jerry Hairston) and a grandfather (Sam Hairston) who played in the bigs. <em>Former <strong>and future</strong> Royal Tony Graffanino gets half of the Third Base duties. </em> Ha.
