I didn't say he was coming back, nor do i want him back. if they do not add some bats they will not be anywhere near the race, simple as that, the lineup you mentioned will fail miserably they will not be in any race, and I don't care if the pitching comes back they still won't be in any race with that lineup.
the thing is if you start lageres, d'arnuad, and reynolds, those are 3 position you will get substandard offense from. given all the great hitting 2b even flores will probably only provide average offense at 2b rosario and smith have proven nothing so far, nobody say they have to provide even average offense, if you bring that team they will fail, and then I question the lunacy of that because if your pitchers are gonna bounce back, it won't make a bit of difference if you can't score any runs.
