When the hell is Nomar coming back? Do you realize how potent the Sox lineup would be then? Jose Offerman would lead off followed by Trot Nixon. Then the heart of the lineup would come Aup with Nomar, Manny, and Carl. Oh man am I drooling. Next, the hot-hitting Jason Varitek would bat followed by a miscelleanous bottom of the rotation featuring players such as Dante Bichette, John Valentin, Brian Daubach, Scott Hatteberg, Troy O'Leary, and Darren Lewis. Also, bring up Izzy! What a lineup. If Cone can return to solid form (a close approximation in his start against New York), then a Martinez/Nomo/Castillo/Cone and a combo of Crawford/Okha/Wakefield looks pretty damn good. The bullpen will still feature Schourek, Arrojo, Pichardo, Lowe, and Garces. Do you believe?????????? ... I still don't, sorry.
