with texiera in the middle of the lineup, teams wont be able to pitch around chipper this year to go after andruw. add in the fact that both mark and chipper are switch hitters, and you have a very solid lineup from top to bottom. with bobby cox at the helm once again, there is no reason this team cant win the division adn contend for a world series title!!:yes:
