Would not this position have been better suited for Carlos Lee (.278, 18, 62)?

eeds.
The Astros badly need to Tejada to become the some semblance run producer that he once was. Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman will carry the load of the offense this season as they did last, however, they need the help. Last year Houston ranked ranked 13th in the National League in runs scored despite Lee and Berkman both driving in over 100 runs. Newly acquired leadoff hitter Michael Bourn and second year outfielder Hunter Pence (returning from injury) should provide excellent table setters. If Tejada can regain some of his offensive prowess, the Astros lineup could become one of more powerful in the league. Unfortunately for Houston, Tejada’s body seems to be breaking down and off the field distractions, which includes the possibility of him losing his green card in light of the federal investigation, will probably lead to another down year.

and brought back most of their core. Lance Berkman, Kaz Matsui, Miguel Tejada, Ty Wigginton, Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence lead this very balanced line-up. The key is the health of Roy Oswalt, as it always is. This rotation is very thin but if Roy can stay healthy and be a CY Young candidate that will go a long way to helping keep things together. Wandy Rodriguez, Brandon Backe and Woody Williams just are not going to scare people or cut it as the rest of the rotation. This team needs to attempt to make a move to help the rotation. The bullpen is also pretty thin but has a very good closer in Jose Valverde. I didn’t think this team had anything but today when I looked at the roster the talent on this team surprised me. I am just telling you, in a very bad division this team, granted they stay healthy, could make some noise.
