When you think Texas you think offense, and lots of it. Add to the mix some of the players who played for the franchise when it was in Washington (1961-71) and you have some balance. It will be interesting to see how the “Capital Punisher” Frank Howard fares in a lineup where he’ll finally have some protection. All those years that he toiled in anonymity in our nation’s capital, Hondo had no one of any stature hitting in front or behind him. Amazingly he hit 40+ homers 3 years in a row. On this team he’ll have “Mr. I have never taken steroids” Palmeiro and Juan “Gone” hitting in front or behind him. Pitchers beware !!! Newcomer Jamie Watkins will be joining KOD for his first season of online baseball. His biggest challenge will be cobbling together a pitching staff that probably will have Kevin Brown as it’s ace along with an aged Nolan Ryan, who still had 2 no hitters left in his tank deep into his 40’s.
