Cobb, Morgan, and Rodriguez up the middle? Criminy! Is the SS a defensive specialist? That's one helluvan up the middle, and you know what they say about strength up the middle.
Keep us posted on this potential juggernaut. Of course, injuries can always strike, but that's arguably the 4th best catcher in the entire history of baseball (behind Bench, Carter, Fisk), the 4th best 2B ever (behind Hornsby, Collins, Lajoie), the 3rd best 3B ever (behind Schmidt, Mathews), and the 2nd best CF ever (behind Mays). At the very worst they're each in the top 5 at their respective positions. Holy crap! That team
should romp to the title, but there's always injuries and down years.
