Thanks. He could make a big difference at this point depending upon his condition.

It said he played in some developmental league games, but I think it would take several games to re-adjust to MLB pitching after 2 months off.

Put Soto behind the plate and use Cruz at DH. Price on the hill provides the perfect opportunity to play both Nellie and a hot Soto.

You have to start Cruz. If we make it into the "real" playoffs, he is Mr.October. Put him in the DH role if necessary

The talk last week was him being DH...taking Murphy's spot...which is an obvious no brainer.

Yep. DH him and let Rios hold down RF. No reason to DH Rios instead of Cruz, and I'm not making this the first time one of them has seen LF in who knows how long.

I think the lineup tomorrow should look like this-

Kinsler- 2B
Andrus- SS
Rios- DH
Beltre- 3B
AJP- Catcher
Cruz- DH
Moreland/Baker- 1B
Gentry- LF
Martin- CF

cruz took his suspension...arod is still whining that he is innocent. He cheated baseball and the playoff race by not taking his suspension like a little beetch.

It's going to be real hard to root for a cheater. I get that the players "forgive" him, but I'm not sure how true that is.

Rios should start in RF. I think he plays better defense than Nellie.

I think Pierzynski starts at catcher Monday.

Yeah, Nellie is a helluva bat, but as a fielder he takes some weird angles and we all remember that drop against the Cardinals.

I'm okay with either catcher. AJ's the better player, but he hits 30 points lower vs lefties for his career. I'd probably go with whichever Perez feels more comfortable with. That looks like a good lineup other than Rios in RF instead of DH.

Hope to rejoice in more David Price tears this offseason.

I meant to put Rios in RF..

I think it's because I switched Cruz and Rios in the lineup after I was already finished and forgot to write RF by Rios' name.

Rios takes better routes, but Nellie's got a far better arm.

Baker is battling through a sports hernia and isn't able to play the field right now, only bat.

any update on Beltre? he came up lame when he scored on AJ's? single, but since he stayed in the game I assume he is ok.

Don't think he's allowed in the facilities until today.

@SportsCenter: Nelson Cruz is back in the Rangers lineup after serving his 50-game suspension. He will bat 6th and DH for Texas in tiebreaker game.

If they need a PH in the later innings, Soto will get the call and remain in, while AJ goes to the bench.

Whose playoff dream was crushed when they activated Nelly?

Found it... looks like Joey Butler.

Cheered wildly in first at bat.

Shows the universal truth remains: baseball fans hate steroids users that don't play for their team.

Well, Cruz didn't help much in any event.
