If you don't use a true center fielder on the team, put Juan Gonzales in CF... Howard in LF and Sierra in RF.

I forgot Gonzalez played CF his first couple of years (course, that gave Gary Pettis a roster spot as a defensive replacement for a couple extra years, if I recall, I mainly remember that early 90s TX team as the guys who had a 40+ Brian Downing at DH and leadoff, though he was surprisingly effective in the position though probably the slowest leadoff man in history at that advanced age. Dusty Baker wouldnt do it.
